Date/Time

Location

33 Hawley Split Level Gallery (33 Hawley St, Northampton MA)

Come to the opening reception on Friday, February 14th from 5-8 PM for Arts Night Out. There will be music by Gregory Boover and light refreshments and bites.

If These Feet Could Fly is a collection of 50+ paintings painted with the artist's feet exploring answers to this question: What happens when the body deteriorates in new and unexpected ways before the heart is ready?

“My body is decomposing quicker than I can write down the recipe to reverse. Please don’t ever let me stop falling in love: with people, places, the mundane and ordinary, but even more so with what’s left of my broken body and shattered heart and all the ways these pieces can still be reorganized into a mosaic of a life well lived. With paint on my feet, I document it permanently.”

Natasha Wein (she/her) lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and a traumatic brain injury. She started painting with her feet when a neck injury left her temporarily unable to use her hands. For more on her work, go to www.nweinart.com and follow her on Instagram at @nweinart
