Alongside the traumas, losses, and isolations, we’ve also learned to slow down, savour, and appreciate what our immediate surroundings have to offer. Despite our current hyper-connectivity, infinite online distractions, and constant streams of communication, I observed a hunger for a different kind of connection: one with nature and the balances around us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBeside this hunger comes the grief of living in a crushingly beautiful world as it’s being swept away.

Over time I felt its hold strengthening. Too much rain in one place, too much smoke in another. While in the past it seemed an everyday undercurrent, it’s become something I can’t look away from. These works embody this new voice that I can’t un-hear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTurmoil, so to speak, has always had a place in the atmosphere of my work. Recently, this turmoil has reached a new pitch for me and for others, and I have discovered that a pivotal importance in my work is leaning into difficult truths instead of shying away. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWoe Be Gone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e is a prayer, not a promise; a longing, not a lull. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alexis-trice-its-okay-to-feel","title":"Alexis Trice - It's Okay to Feel","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's Okay to Feel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9”x12”, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eoil on cradled panel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003e$1,500\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Talon Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39481001410629,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0124\/7664\/5434\/products\/image4_1.jpg?v=1630190063"}],"url":"https:\/\/neilmperry.net\/collections\/alexis-trice-woe-be-gone\/trice2021.oembed","provider":"Talon Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
