Sold Lot: Theatre of Salt and Stone by Summer Wagner

Description

December, 1949

Judith: for when you are in your winter and in need of deep change in direction and spirit.

The ritual I’ve drawn is best practiced on a waning or new moon.

Like the seed planted in dark soil, you will start your journey in the shadows. The greatest alchemy we achieve through our practice is the transmutation of the soul. It is easy to know ourselves, but a great challenge to transform what we know into something entirely new. Drink deep. The wind through the tunnel will be beastly for a time.

Sweep the path before casting the circle, your mother doesn’t tend to the tunnel since your father started back at the factory.

Yours, Grandma Helen

Originally released by PROOF: Like burls on a tree, twisting and gnarled, the vignettes in Midamerican Fever Dream show us the dark beauty of scars, resilience and awkward healing. With the camera, we cut into four characters' inner worlds as they undergo a transformative experience of theatrical self-reflection.
