Dear ,
My Saturn has returned, and with it, a desire to be surrounded by art and community.
For my 30th, I’ve decided to throw an art show. The theme revolves around Saturn Return, the astrological rite of passage when Saturn completes its first orbit back to where it was at your birth — roughly ages 27–30. It’s associated with confronting mortality, identity, and authenticity; the stripping away of borrowed personas; and the collapse of structures built unconsciously.
I don’t want to do this show alone. My hope is to have my friends’ artwork fill the walls, each owning their own narrative and interpretation of this cosmic inner confrontation.
I want to formally invite you to be involved in this project. I’d love to see your work on the walls of the gallery. Whether it’s artwork you’ve already made or a new idea, I’m open to anything. All mediums are welcome.
If you’re interested, please reach out by next Sunday, May 24! I’m here if you want to brainstorm or need any more direction. No pressure at all if this isn’t the right moment — I just wanted to personally invite you in. Regardless, consider this an invitation to the show — I’d love to see your face.
“It is right it should be so
Man was made for Joy & Woe
And when this we rightly know
Thro the World we safely go
Joy & Woe are woven fine
A Clothing for the soul divine
Under every grief & pine
Runs a joy with silken twine”
– William Blake
*******with love,
