COLLAGE ON VIEW
Lily Hinrichsen: Home
at the Lawrence Memorial Library in Bristol, Vermont, USA
1-31 March 2022
Lily Hinrichsen says about this work:
HOME is where my heart is. Where I find warmth and comfort, safety and joy. It is where I grow flowers, feed birds, have neighbors for breakfast, knit hats, mail letters, drink tea on my porch, write poems about birds and flowers and things I observe while drinking tea on my porch.
HOME is where I cry when my heart is broken, rant when people are mean, laugh out loud at the computer screen, tend to my body and spirit, eat vegetables from my garden, and make art.
HOME fortifies me with energy and a full heart to go out in the world and listen to the pain of others, to pack meals for those who are hungy, to give attention to those who are ignored or ridiculed.
HOME is my sanctuary.
