Artist Statement: Live life as a work of art. I can still visualize myself walking through the Culture Hub, beaming at the work I and many other volunteers put into creating the space. There has been a deep lingering ache in our hearts ever since Bermuda’s vital cultural resource was seen reduced to flames, charred remains, and now, merely dust. The Chewstick Foundation needs ongoing community support to continue its worthy mission to empower storytelling, creative expression and social justice to enrich youth, arts, culture and community. My dream is that Chewstick will return stronger than ever, and will be around forever. Thanks to James Toogood and Michael Walsh for helping me start this piece.
