About the Show

Maile Claire’s “With Acorn Eyes” offers both the raw beauty of nature and the harsh impact our footprint makes. When we look deeper, we can reimagine.

Art so often mirrors or intertwines with dreams.

Artist Statement: 

Maile Claire Writes About “With Acorn Eyes” –

I dreamt I awoke, and opened my eyes; blind.

A root thread yearned and turned through loam toward the white weave, licking sugar sparks, calling out the warm dawn frost melt.

A crackling on the forest floor. (Open the door!) The wisdom of the primitive, rises. That which we knew once, then forgot, then degraded, berated, deleted, superseded, denied, decried, debased, erased, will become us again. Because we used to live outside and thrive, (not just survive).

Everything that ever was is still here, waiting for you, and me, for all of us, together. (Again). What will we need on this journey through the dark? Take these tools. From my hands, to your mind’s eye. They only work when you dream, but that should be enough. That’s where it starts, (and ends). Descend.

We must make ourselves anew, like dew. And slowly we will wash the world clean.

Beneath the asphalt; the mountain!

Look with your acorn eyes

to re-seed the world.

Artist Bio

As a kid Maile grew up in a big city yet spent her summers here in the mountains. In 2018, with many elements of a busy, professional, fairly ordinary life, seeming to fall apart around her ears, she made her way back to the mountains, the one place where the simple smell of pine bark in morning sun was filled up with meaning. She began to rethink that art degree she’d obtained in her distant past. She has been playing with sticks and stones ever since, wandering in the early dawn, and trying to work out just what it means (and could mean) to be human, more than human, and at home on the land.
