Walk Gently on This Earth


  • Center for Contemporary Arts 220 Cypress Street Abilene, TX, 79601 United States (map)

Celebrate the beauty of this earth with Kari Perkins, renowned costume designer and mixed-media artist. Inspired by this anonymous poem, Perkins has created beautiful silk and wood sculptures which will dance in the wind, inviting you to revel in the meditative nature of the exhibition.

“Walk gently on this earth with purposeful steps

You share this space with seven billion human beings

And countless other precious life forms

Just like you

They all want to be happy

Just like you

They all need love

We’re not going to survive unless we walk

Gently on this earth together,

Until we touch something in others that

Feels just like the shards of our own pain,

The fluttering warmth of our own joy,

Until we sew their wounds into our hearts

And seal it with our own skin”
