IF THESE FEET COULD FLY
Works by Natasha Wein
If These Feet Could Fly is a collection of paintings made with her feet exploring answers to this question: What happens when the body deteriorates in new and unexpected ways before the heart is ready? “My body is decomposing quicker than I can write down the recipe to reverse. God, please don’t ever let me stop falling in love: with people, places, the mundane and ordinary, but even more so with what’s left of my broken body and shattered heart and all the ways that these pieces can still be reorganized into a mosaic of a life well lived. With paint on my feet, I document it permanently.”
Natasha Wein (she/her) is a self-taught physically disabled abstract painter, poet, and small business owner living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and a traumatic brain injury. She started painting with her feet when a neck injury left her temporarily unable to use her hands. By creating in a way that is safer for her body, Natasha abstracts the pain and grief of living with serious chronic health conditions and discovers new storylines free from the constraints of injury and illness.

CONTACT QUARTERLY LIBRARY AT 33 HAWLEY
APE@Hawley is excited to announce that the dance library that was acquired and stewarded for years by our friends at Contact Quarterly is now housed at A.P.E.'s office in 33 Hawley! Since the closing of CQ's office down the road in Florence, MA, we have accepted their generous gift of hundreds of books, periodicals, and DVDs on dance practice and performance, as well as a full CQ back issue set. Once COVID restrictions allow, we will be making this reading library available to the public for using and perusing while at 33 Hawley. Also on the horizon is the use of a public computer, gifted to us by CQ, for research and browsing of CQ's back issue archive.
We can't wait to read and research together!" For more information and to access the library contact: [email protected]
