a deck of cards for each individual subject that received a sense of gratitude in a 2008 poem, connected together in visual representation of what each of those subjects would express gratitude for as the cards were drawn at random, creating a web or ecology of gratitude, and filled a journal with poetry based on those explorations. In exhibition, patrons were invited to follow the same meditative process and add their own literary contributions to the piece.
The Ecology of Gratitude was produed for and exhibited in the “Thank You” show at Re:Generation Church, Oakland, CA, 2009, and was gifted to the impermanent collection of Xenia Community House, Davis, CA.
