Harvest the spinach – holy work. Sow the seeds – holy work. Carry buckets for water – holy work. Turn the compost. Pull up weeds. Sweep the bricks. Holy work. Holy work. Holy Work.
Every time we ignore the pull of the device, silence the updates, put our phones down, switch off the feed, we make space for the holiest of work: being here, being now in our buy sacred, precious world.
This artwork celebrates the holy act of growing. The gardener who wears the shine of the sun as a halo on her face and the grime of the earth as a spirit under her nails. This in an homage and tribute to all those that grow.
