TODAY at 1:00 P.M.! Join us for a lunch discussion with Denise St Marie as she discusses how her childhood shaped her early awareness of death. And though I don't regret or feel anything prior to my previous non-existence I do still worry about not being anymore... Wandering through plucked snippets of pop-culture to reflections on graveyards she collages together her daily awareness of death and her continued interest in maintaining an existential existence.

"Since the beginning of my writing life almost 40 years ago, I’ve been fascinated by the intersection of text and visual image. While it’s true that every picture tells a story, it is also true that one thing leads to another. We have long had a tendency to keep individual art forms in their separate boxes, but it can be far more exciting and rewarding to let them get acquainted and play amongst themselves. My work in collage and story has evolved over decades, deepening my understanding of how creative work not only expresses and enlarges us but how it can strengthen and sustain us too, even through a pandemic." Join Inter Arts Matrix and Diane Schoemperlen for a glimpse into the mind of an interdisciplinary artist. All are welcome - registration required (https://buff.ly/2INgjjE)
