A Space For Centering – A multi-sensory installation

When life gets loud, I head to my garden. It’s where I center myself, my mind and my body. I slow down, look closely and see differently.

My garden has taught me patience. I am a small contributor to an ecosystem that goes on without my input, my attention or my assistance. Looking closely at a petal or a stamen, or listening to the song of a finch, centers me.

You enter this space through a circle of the flower centers I paint. Look closely at flowers from my garden on the monitor. Pick up the headphones and listen to the birds. Glance at the reflections as water circulates quietly over the sphere. Touch the herbs.

Stop, look, listen, smell, feel, and think. Experience, in a small way, the centering effects of time spent with the fragment of my garden I’ve brought indoors. Come away a bit more calm and more refreshed, knowing you can find all this on a grander scale by slowing down and spending time with nature.
