The goal of art is to inspire, to transform. Art means awakening. It can record, bear witness. It can shock. It can shout, it can sing, chant or dance, speak in the tongues of angels– or devils. It often mocks–in glaring or mundane images–our greeds, our consumerism, our denial of values, our ignorance, but it can also soothe and bring peace. It can heal and open doorways to the spiritual, to a world of beauty, a love of each other and of all living, moving creatures and energies, for the poetry of life. - Adele Seronde Sedona artist, writer and poet Adele Seronde shares an excerpt from her upcoming book, Pegaasus: With Wings on Fire in Education and her painting “Explosion.” IMAGINE l Spring 2017 15
