Woven Together: Firestorm
These are the names of but a few of the wildfires in the 2012 U.S. season. By early August, an astounding 42,933 wildfires had been entered into the U.S. database and 6.4 million acres had burned. The Waldo Canyon fire alone consumed two lives, 346 homes and 18,247 acres. At its peak, 32,000 people were evacuated from Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs and nearby communities. 2012 proved to be one of the western regions worst fire seasons in decades.

As artists, how do we respond to disasters like these? We use our medium to create work that expresses the emotional turmoil of seeing, experiencing and surviving wildfires: horror, fear, loss, relief, gratitude and renewal. From all of these comes a commemoration, Woven Together: Firestorm.
