“Listening to the wisdom of women is a key part of understanding the best ways to care for and engage with the difficult climate in which we find ourselves. Words have become the well-beaten path that is our primary outward expression of our inner being. Words, words and more words. Words are important. They are crucial. But I’m also wondering if Catherine Ricketts (and so many other artists) are onto something: that perhaps our close attention to good works of art and even the act of creation itself are avenues that allow us to be formed into better humans, aware of of our peculiar nuances, and more importantly, keenly aware of and attentive to the needs of those around us.”
