There is only before and after the ocean in Chile. It is an amazing gift to be with my lifelong studio mates at Curaumilla Art Center in Chile for two weeks as a guest artist. This place is magic. These people are magic. I will love them both forever. We talked non-stop about awe, engaged in deep and slow encounters with plants, animals, rocks, and water, and remembered the indelible mark we have left on each other in our 30 years of working together. Equal parts art making and eating and dancing. All inspiring.
