I originally created this piece for the arrival of spring (Spring Equinox/ Ostara) ~ when all life and other beings around me were beginning to emerge, waking up from months of hibernation. I’ve always been drawn to the symbolic essence of eggs and spent some time in various places where rabbits/hares were common sightings. I’ve also been drawn to making Cairns (stacked rocks) ever since I was a child ~ they feel so deeply relevant for the times we are in. Not only have they been used as markers to indicate pathways—but they feel like a visual representation of space, time, change, and the building blocks that are necessary to get there.

While we are now coming into the Summer Solstice, longer days and shorter nights, may we tend to our internal and communal cairns. Similar to seeds that eventually grow, evolve and shape shift into other forms ~ each stone of the cairn must be carefully selected and placed before the other stones can emerge into one whole. As we build movements, coalitions, and community that fight for liberation and resist fascist, neocolonial, technocratic regimes/empire, Mama Earth is always there—leading the way in what she has to teach us. Each stone leads to the next, from one generation to the next. It’s everywhere, all around us ~ and has been since the beginning of time.
