Soliphili a begins with love from one’s own place (topophilia) to the whole: an awar eness of interrelatedness and connection to all. We consider how we can co mbine a love of place with a natural desire to protect and conserve the be auty around us. \n\nCrackle Bingham’s creative practice is rooted in an e motional and spiritual approach to environmentalism.  Katherine Emery’s pr actice is based on the belief that humans are social creatures\, that seek to connect\, and make sense of our world through stories. Together we hav e collaborated for a year to explore how to find hope in face of climate c hange.  \n\n“Our project has been greatly influenced by our individual li ves and places we call home. Katherine is based on Mount Desert Island\, M aine and Crackle is located in Missoula\, Montana. Both are mothers\, but to children in very different stages of life. Katherine was born and raise d in the United States\, Crackle was born and raised in the United Kingdom and then emigrated to New Zealand\, before landing through marriage in th e United States. \n\nOver the course of a year\, we have had conversation s\, shared prompts back and forth\, offered reflections in writing and pho tography\, with the intent to celebrate the inherent qualities of joy\, re silience\, connection\, survival\, renewal and beauty in nature.  \n\nEac h month our work has been guided by a one-word prompt: rebel\, shed\, crad le\, forgiveness\, peace\, notice\, reconnect\, mapping\, vibration\, fora ge\, still and illuminate. The work we created was in response to these pr ompts: writing\, sewing\, weaving\, collage\, painting and printmaking.  \n\nWe have witnessed\, firsthand\, how making can heal and transform ours elves and allow joy to radiate through the work itself – resulting in art and inspiration that may offer hope and healing to others. You are invited to collaborate in this exhibit. There will be prompts for you to engage w ith the work and bring your own reflections to the conversation.” \n\nABOU T THE ARTISTS \n\nCRACKLE BINGHAM \nCrackle Bingham is a transdisciplinar y artist\, based in Missoula\, Montana.
