Loving’s work divides into two groups: poetic elegies to the fragility of nature, and works that evoke a more mythic quality, through the adhering of plant or animal parts to human forms. Her treatment of the cycles of nature is about the cycles of our own nature and of the human condition. This is most evident in those works that combine human forms with plant or animal parts.

Beth Burkhauser and Marianne Milks invite you to a Nepali Tea and Sale. On sale will be wonderful items of paper, wood, ceramic, silver and pashmina (Nepali cashmere), all fresh from Nepal. Marianne and Beth traveled to Nepal in January to visit schools and deliver two laptops and an LCD projector to a very poor public school in southern Nepal, Butwal. The mission was accomplished successfully. They also gave Interdependence Workshops to high school students as part of the International Interdependence Hexagon Project and also Marianne’s newly-founded OneBig Boost.
All proceeds from the sale of the glorious goods from Nepal will go to both Haiti and future OneBig Boost projects. Marianne is intimately involved with Haitian relief efforts and will probably go over there when she gets the go-ahead from her close friends. She and her son will be working on a soup kitchen project that is being set up there.
Please come and enjoy the sale!
