“The way we live is intuitive: our needs, wants, and desires.”
Carl Barnett Design | NOURISH
The way we live is intuitive: our needs, wants, and desires. What we create and collect reflects this, it’s an intimacy with the self, and those with whom we are surrounded. A means to ease the mind and body, bringing solace and beauty to our living. This is where we are in this era, a need for solace and clarity, to see who we are, and who we are not. To pause and see the bigger picture, and where we sit within it: who we are, and where we are going.

“History is a woven line that binds all cultures, each with its own particular tradition of raising children and living life.”
NOURISH Gallery | SENTIENT | Liadain Warwick Smith
History is memory, document, and genetic coding, held in the mind and body, informing what we think, feel, and physically do. We are tied to history by traditions and our childhood, the way our parents raised us, how they were raised, what was collected, and what we collect. History is a woven line that binds all cultures, each with its own particular tradition of raising children and living life. Viewed from a bigger perspective, one sees the underlying thread that binds: our universal desire for purpose, meaning, beauty and joy.

“We are creators and collectors, living our lives, building our futures, and correcting our wrongs.”
NOURISH Gallery | Laura Kastin
We are by nature, curious collectors, seeking beauty and purpose in life. Perpetual in behavior, we will always be gatherers, in groups, and of things, finding comfort in the like-minded, and objects of beauty. Archeologists often find cities of gridded stone walls, full of objects created, collected, and used. This will always be, our human document, whether on Earth or deeper into the universe of stars.
We are creators and collectors, living our lives, building our futures, and correcting our wrongs.
