Patricia Bronstein, November 2016
Though a coincidence, these collages are being shown at a
time where I hope they will give some joy and humor, and provide some relief to
those (including me) who need it.
This country has suffered a devastating setback. What do we tell ourselves about our
country? Many are struggling about
what to tell our children?
I’ve always liked collage because it allows you to say
anything by juxtaposing images.
Look closely at these works.
I think they are sweet and funny.
I hope these make you happier because as Bette Davis in All About Eve,
“fasten your seat belts, we’re in for a bumpy ride.” She really says “fasten your seatbelts, we’re in for a bumpy
night.” This is a film from1950.
Either quote, the only car model that had seatbelts at that time was a
Nash. Congress did not mandate
them until 1959.

The Spirit House, Altar and Tree of Faith
by
Susan Huhn-Bowles
The Spirit House, Altar and Tree of Faith is the
representation of my hope for unity and peace.
As humans we are all physical and spiritual beings. Our religions and beliefs guide and
sustain us. However, they can also
divide us and distort our social behavior. We can be born into specific belief
systems based on our parent's beliefs and cultures. We also have the right and obligation to ourselves to search
our hearts, listen to our soul's voice and find what the most sustaining
beliefs for ourselves.
This also means not being judgmental, demeaning or hateful
to those of differing faith.
This is my prayer.
