Rosalie Smith discusses the poem "Evoking the Father" by Sharon Hoffman, her mother who passed away in August of 2018. Rosalie is a multidisciplinary artist who's recent work conceptually addresses impermanence, grief, community, and environmental issues. Her process is deeply rooted in investigating the metaphoric value of materials and processes. She co-founded and conceptualized @luckyartfair, an art fair with an egalitarian financial structure designed to pay unconventionally marketable artists same rate as those who make saleable work. Sharon Hoffman was a poet, artist, landscaper and food sustainability activist.
