Mills Gallery Project Room Exhibition

Soft opening: Aug. 31, 2024
Opening Reception: Sep. 6, 2024 | 6–9 pm

 

prayers from the earth is an exhibition by Kate Wildman featuring inter-dimensional beings known as stonespeakers.

made of carved stones, plant matter, minerals, and metals they have materialized to mend the connections between humanity, the land, and the cosmos.

each stonespeaker carries a unique prayer for healing, change, truth, or grace. they share their divine gifts with those who affirm that all life is sacred, dreams are prayers, all beings are intelligent, and the land holds deep knowledge.

stonespeakers revere mica, a portal for inter-realm travel and message transmission. gazing into mica brings illumination and clarity for all earthly beings, inspiring actions that bring cosmic equilibrium.

summoned by interdimensional threats, environmental crises, terrestrial grief, intercepted GPS signals from Amazon vans, and killer whale calls, stonespeakers oversee planetary balance and protect life from the corrupt forces known as doombringers. their energies, drawn from Earth and the stars, are deeply rooted in a timeless kinship with the land.

forged by deep time and pressure, stonespeakers carry ancient wisdom to help earthly beings realize their inherent gifts, dream new technologies, and protect all life.
