03 / THE MAKING

A question
carried home.

From a moment of reflection
to something we could hold together.

Individual artworks gathered on a table during the sculpture's creation — IN THE MAKINGIndividual expressions, finding their place.

Karen Kotoske and Sue Bordelon returned from a conference in France with a question: “What is my deepest truth?” The gathering explored how art might help heal our world.

Sondra Hersh and Sue Bordelon imagined a collective response. Artists reflected quietly, then created individual works brought together on one slab of mango wood.
