Art is often thought from the perspective of the viewer. It is logical, because the audience is the practice of many, and creation is the practice of relatively few. But take a step back and consider the fact that the creative work lives a long life and invisible before finishing in front of us. In many ways, what happens in the creation of a piece is much deeper than anything we could possibly take away from him.
Artist Stephanie Calvert is somewhat familiar with this experience. His last series, which is an ongoing effort called Shame on the Pride project , has evolved into something that is both restorative and revealing.
The mission of Calvert started after an unexpected and painful back.

Growing up in an abandoned schoolhouse in rural Colorado proven to be an isolating experience for 'artist. "I lived there for six years without plumbing, central heating, electricity or full. Disconnected from the community, hoarding my mother took a lot of space. It was a strange and difficult place to grow up."
After his parents left the room, it was abandoned again. Calvert did not return when tragedy struck.

Her mother suffered serious injuries in a horrific accident, so the artist began to spend more time in his hometown to give a hand. Shame Pride was born when it came time to school that held so many memories convoluted.
Because the old school was sitting exactly as they had left there so many years, the fruits of hoarding his mother stayed. Instead of throwing away the shame, Calvert promised to reuse all in a testimony of the family and the nature of memory.

"I experience the physical transformation of materials as a way to transform my relationship with my story "she wrote. The more time she spent surrounded by her family history, the more comfortable she became the idea of embracing its past honestly.
"Revisiting my past," she continues, "brought a lot to the surface for me, and sharing things about the accident of my mother, I began to share more about my past as well. "
what started as an introspective project soon became something of an awareness mission.

"at the beginning, I started shame Pride much for my own well-being mentally and emotionally," she wrote. "When I started to share my art with friends, I began to see the potential for connecting to others through this work."
According to the artist, " through sharing with others and have the testimony of our stories, we begin to heal and accept ourselves as we are, no matter where we come from. "
