Translations: forming links observing water (f.l.o.w.)
A new Translations series inspired by water was scheduled to be installed at the Gallery @ Mayyim Hayyim in partnership with JArts in April 2021. With the gallery still closed due to Covid, the exhibit will be shared online instead.
Ripple, acrylic latex on scrap wood, 2020
This piece, titled “Ripple,” is the start of one chain that resulted in a poem (Maya Bernstein), mosaic (Emily Bhargava), and assemblage (Maria Beatriz Arvelo). Their responses (and some responses from the community) can be seen here, but now it’s also your turn to pARTticipate! Consider the image above. Where does it take you? How does it make you feel? What might it inspire you to create?
You are invited to respond to this work in any modality (will you write a poem? make a collage? take a photograph?) and share it back at #RippleArt #TranslationsArt #JartsTranslations
Though we continue to need to distance ourselves physically, art can help us stay connected. I look forward to experiencing your creative responses to this artwork and seeing how each of your translations can enrich our collective understanding of art and of each other.
