“To Send a Prayer: a Collaborative Journal Project”
Exhibit description:
Last year, Richard Fudge was planning “To Send a Prayer,” an exhibit that explored the visual metaphor of a prayer being akin to a letter. During the planning, Fudge shared the concept and some of his sketches with a fellow artist in Texas. Inspired by the concept of mailing letters to heaven, Fudge began a collaborative journal project. Artists across the country were invited to participate by signing up to receive a journal and add their own visual expressions of prayer through painting, drawing, and photography. The journals began traveling across the country with artists participating from coast to coast.
Over the past year, the four journals have traveled over 25,000 miles, visited 23 cities and over 40 artists have contributed to the project. For the exhibit, 20 selected pages were enlarged and printed for display.

Journal #4 - Richard Fudge
I know. I know. It's been a long time since I updated this blog. After one of the journals was torn up by a dog (but later repaired) and another journal was nearly lost, the whole project took a break. I've also been getting ready for an art exhibit featuring selected pages from all 4 journals. Plus I've been generally overwhelmed. So it makes sense that I start this update with the prayer I had drawn about 3-4 months ago. A prayer for a spark. That spark that ignites your passion and fills you with energy. This has become a daily prayer. I've yet to reach that point again where I feel that I'm running on a full tank of gas instead of a quarter tank.

Journal #3 - Robyn Blaikie Collins
Taylor John lost his battle with depression on March 9, 2010. He was 28.
Known for his beautiful voice, humorous spirit and endless pranks... the memories and "taylor" stories have flowed on the Taylor John Memorial Page on facebook.
Taylor's life has been celebrated and remembered for these days following his departure to the "best place".
Those left behind are crushed in spirit. Lonely. Longing for their son, brother, uncle, friend who suffered in ways that were unknown. The hope and promise of an eternity together is the thing that is left behind.
May they be the ones that rest in peace knowing this... they will see him again. while Taylor is most likely doing what he does... singing... laughing... experiencing true joy...waiting for the rest to join him.
Pray for those suffering from depression. It is a very real pain.
