From devastation to creation: How artist Devon Spier found spiritual meaning through affliction

star 0 Art Culture

JL;DR SUMMARY Devon Spier, grappling with the challenges of long COVID, explores the concept of finding spiritual meaning in liminal spaces, leading to the creation of her art exhibit, "18 Plus One." A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
