“Through a personal journey of healing, I've also been exploring the healing properties of various plants - often considered weeds - as well as the energetic properties of color, wanting to visualize the invisible properties of these plants and how they may affect the world around them. ” —Alyssa Smith, 2023 Guest Artist

“Tusen Takk vibrates with a feeling of creation and refinement, and what is creation but the transition from nothing to something, refinement the transition from something to something better?” —Snowden Wright, 2023 writer-in-residence

Debra Salopek shares her process and inspiration behind her residency project. This body of work is on view in her exhibition Fallen Pieces of the Moon at Commongrounds in Traverse City, March 30-May 14, 2023.
