Josephine Wall,
mothering the world through art I thought to start off this month’s issue with information on Gaia, the Greek goddess considered to be the personification of earth itself. In searching for Gaia art I was thrilled to find a few breathtaking Gaia images by one of my favorite artists, Josephine Wall. Her paintings are a perfect example of how pictures can convey more meaning than words could ever hope to. Or so I thought. Reading her descriptions of Gaia filled me with as much wonder as her evocative imagery, and I realized no research or historical explanation or new age narrative could better express the concept of Gaia than Josephine’s own brief captions. I craved more Jospehineness and was delighted to find an online video interview with her. Upon watching it I was so overcome by her humility and nurturing kindness that I dashed off an email to Josephine asking her if I could send her a few brief interview questions about Gaia. Her email response was more intimate and meaningful than any interview could be. I am so humbly grateful to share her words and art with you here today.
