Dorrie Casey / The Artist 

“For decades I worked as a writer, a musician, an actor. Then, out of nowhere, I started making things out of the kinds of materials you see here, materials I found or which began to show up on my doorstep through family and friends. Immediately through this work, I fell into a deep sense of belonging, of belonging to myself.

With this work, I am not thinking, just reacting physically to whatever rises up inside me, letting my hands go to work, without judgment or interference.   This is what we all long for, the sense of “this is what I am meant for.”  It is what every person on this earth deserves to feel and to know.

The world needs farmers and scientists, teachers and business people, and it needs artists. It needs every variety of heart and mind to feel at home in the world. Minds and hearts, given what they need, give back to the world.”
