“The place had me in the past and future. Losing my mind to be more open to the present. The colors, culture and feel of the land was Life soaking in. Making rubbings and markings of the different textures around the city created a vocabulary without words and speaking a dozen different languages. It intensified and broadened my experience of the city and who lives there. Making it very personal. Hearts, birds and cobblestones – always and never changing.”
-Lorrie
“San Miguel….magical and unique. Another world unto itself with beauty and interest of all flavors around every colorful corner…street art, local people on the street, cobblestones and houses from a bygone era still relevant. I was astounded by the architectural details and textures which highly influenced my creative spirit. I came home renewed and cherishing all that I had witnessed. A rich and deep cultural experience.”
-Jess
