I feel the tensions addressed in Betty Spackman's installation "Found Wanting". It was very moving, I wish I'd seen the installation in person. <br />We are new farmers and harvest our meat and grow our vegetables. There is indeed no "feast without a sacrifice". Thanks for posting this story and video.<br /><br />http://faithartfarming.blogspot.com/2011/04/theology-of-farm-kill.htmlDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875112178235453989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-9897293225155793022010-09-19T02:32:59.835-04:002010-09-19T02:32:59.835-04:00Maureen

I'm so pleased everyone is finding this as riveting and thought-provoking as I think it is.<br /><br />Spackman's honesty is also quite striking, as is the enormous care with which she went about cleaning all the bones, considering her own personal connections, and creating the entire installation.<br /><br />I'm interested to learn more about other work she's done, including her writing.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-54567710539852886622010-09-09T16:21:12.489-04:002010-09-09T16:21:12.489-04:00This is so heartening.

Those with a messiah complex like mine should stay away...unless one is up to mothering lambs. I wouldn't have missed it; mine were wool-bearing and went to a life on pasture. Thank you for this fabulous read. xjJenne' R.

Come visit and I'll take you Maureen. :) <br /><br />I loved her non agenda take on what she was offering. <br />Loverby and I are farm kids. There is a dignified, honoring, thankful way to raise animals and butcher them for provision. (And hunt/butcher, also) We experienced it in it's wholeness. <br />She captured that. <br /><br />What a beautiful person. What a clean heart.Kathleen Overbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684519598333961438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-54913761987760650752010-09-09T12:35:44.005-04:002010-09-09T12:35:44.005-04:00M, This is quite moving, even in its disembodied c...M, This is quite moving, even in its disembodied cyber presence.
