 Katie’s Contemplations 

Its been a great week of celebration and transitions here at the studio, reminding us all that we live on the constant cosmic wheel of time passing and how important it is to mark those times in special ways. Thank you Nicola and Sonia for both marking and celebrating birthdays at the Wild at Art Studio, bringing along special friends to make, create and celebrate!

Birthdays are an important part of life both personally and culturally. A birthday puts a pin on the calendar and helps us to feel loved and valued, its time of reflection and of honouring the self or a loved one. This week I was privileged to witness how much joy there is in celebrating with loved friends, we grow the bond and share the joy, the creation of an art work in honour of that day becomes a lasting treasure and reminder of that celebration and that bond. 

On another note this week we also marked both transition and change for people who are soon to be leaving our Hong Kong shores to relocate overseas. Numerous groups of people came along this week with loved friends to create Hong Kong Skyline collage as homage to our loved city, these will be soon be hanging on walls in New Zealand, UK, Israel, USA, The Netherlands and some will remain here in Hong Kong! Again marking this transition with friends helps to place a sense of ceremony on the good-bye and to create with others helps everyone to articulate what is loved about HK, about their times here and about what memories to take to the next destination. 

If you would like to organise a group to celebrate and create please email me Katie directly on wildatartweekly@gmail.com.
