Messages of Hope: Kristina Davies Artist Residency at Brent's Place

Hamilton Gallery - On Site Exhibition
Words of Hope 1 Image: The words and phrases on this canvas come from children and their families at the Brent’s Place location in Aurora, Colorado. During a community event in October of 2023, Kristina set up a canvas with markers and paint, and asked the members of Brent’s Place to write down anything they would like; a wish, a hope, a dream, a message to the universe. Using the words written on the canvas that day, Kristina then created a large grid, using many of the words and phrases from that day. Kristina hopes that these words from patients and families serve as messages of hope.

Las palabras y frases en este gran lienzo basado en texto provienen de niños y sus familias en la instalación de Brent’s Place en Aurora, Colorado. Durante un evento comunitario en octubre de 2023, Kristina creó un lienzo con marcadores y pintura, y pidió a los integrantes de Brent’s Place que escribieran cualquier cosa que quisieran. Ese día, Kristina recurrió a las palabras escritas en el lienzo y creó una gran cuadrícula, usando muchas de las palabras y frases de ese día. Kristina espera que estas palabras de pacientes y familias sirvan como mensajes de esperanza.
