The white skirt. Although I read yrs ago that curator’s & gallery’s see the “ white gown” as played out, i played this card anyway because to me it represents the ultra feminine look that is in direct contrast with the stereotypical masculine aesthetic. It provided me the opportunity to explore gender identity in a positive way and have fun with a ridiculously large fluffy white tulle skirt that was made from a wedding gown. I have photographed about 100 weddings so the white “dress” vibe was really hard to let go!
🌈
Today I am letting go! I would love to gift this skirt as is to any visual artist that could create something new with it! If you are interested in acquiring this skirt for free + shipping if needed, DM me.

The one film camera was the Kodak Retinette, the other was Canon 1V 35 mm.

I firmly believe that success happens first with those who are close to you. And I am so privileged to have so many people in my corner as I take my first steps as an author.

Special shoutout to:
📸 @kathpace who captured all these moments. They will be remembered for years to come
🌶️ @darkchives_ and @carolyn_rose93 for taking the helm of the grill and helping fill hungry bellies, so I could focus on signing books
👫 @ckh20 @cometcarolina @kmgloss (and Brian) who arrived a bit early to set up tables and get the ambiance just right
🪵 @alexandria_or_something (and Keegan) for the additional goodies in the page holder, hand-crafted to perfection

These are just a few of the photos taken at the event. Check out the rest on my website www.cmhowe.net

While you’re at it, why not pick up a copy of the book if you haven’t already!

🔮I am looking forward to my first year of the book’s release and can’t wait to meet more readers at the next event.

This is a LIMITED ticket event. Tickets are going, please don’t miss out on the magic. We are dreaming new community experiences, ways to introduce artists and performers, using lesser known farms, and using repurposed materials because we believe in giving tradition a new look. Go to Vesta’s website to purchase early bird tickets.

Photos by @kathpace
Her thin fingers, moving
In the thin, tall strings,
Were weav-weav-weaving
Wonderful things.

Many bright threads,
From where I couldn’t see,
Were running through the harp-strings
Rapidly,

And gold threads whistling
Through my mother’s hand.
I saw the web grow,
And the pattern expand.

She wove a child’s jacket,
And when it was done
She laid it on the floor
And wove another one.

She wove a red cloak
So regal to see, 
“She’s made it for a king’s son,”
I said, “and not for me.”
But I knew it was for me.

She wove a pair of breeches
Quicker than that!
She wove a pair of boots
And a little cocked hat.

She wove a pair of mittens,
She wove a little blouse,
She wove all night
In the still, cold house.

She sang as she worked,
And the harp-strings spoke;
Her voice never faltered,
And the thread never broke.
And when I awoke,—

There sat my mother
With the harp against her shoulder
Looking nineteen
And not a day older,

A smile about her lips,
And a light about her head,
And her hands in the harp-strings
Frozen dead.

And piled up beside her
And toppling to the skies,
Were the clothes of a king’s son,
Just my size. - Edna St. Vincent Millay
