Amanda Saint Claire was our final resident at the Desert Dairy this season. She sneaked in when it was just getting, let's say, warm. She spent her days in the apartment AC writing, and her evenings painting and creating a personal space in Cindy Zimmerman's "Rain Grotto." Amanda is developing a sound practice, plus the lighting and scents were gorgeous. www.amandasaintclaire.com

Cindy Rinne worked in both the Residency apartment and in the White Box Gallery, getting ready for her performance at the High Desert Fringe Festival at Tower Homestead in Wonder Valley. She makes costumes and ritual objects, and performs her poetry. She received an Arts Connection, San Bernardino Arts Council Micro Grant to come to the Desert Dairy!
I am more than my body The Netherworld holds confusion fear loss my body needs repair I retreat inside my womb Lanterns light the way I bathe in calming waters incense prayer not knowing close my eyes and enter the silence As the world breathes me a bloodline of the unseen underwater ancestors intone healing sounds in unison Aura shifts beyond my pain my soul conducts cosmic currents I gather clothes adorned with stars Polaris glows within ©_Cindy Rinne |
