Creatures at the Sophia Center

ByKim Hermanson

We made creatures at the Sophia Center last Monday. Each of the creatures had “magical” powers. I was expecting the class to be light-hearted and playful. Silly me. Of course there is something about making art that is deep and transformative, but making creatures with magical powers seemed to be especially powerful in tapping the deep rumblings of the underworld. Some of the creatures were light and playful–like Spring and Joy, while others brought more serious messages, such as Life & Death, Paradox, Transformation, and Chaos. Definitely an interesting class….

Here are a few of the creatures who showed up:

“Bling”
“Spring”
“Francesca Pridemore”
“Moonbug”
“Transformation”
