Carrie Schneider

In the wake of Ike I collaborated with Houston artists in a healing ceremony based on a love letter I wrote to my hurricaned city and its harboring of many victims. We used the very flood waters which had spread so much destruction to dissolve the words and lave care throughout the city. A recording of a local musician's lullaby over the city was played while Houstonians youtube footage of Ike flooded the ceremony space. I read the love letter line by line, dipping my hands into water and handing out each flooded page.
