practicing awe

October, 2016 | Grace Farms, New Canaan CT

FEATURING CINDERTALK, DANIEL MOODY AND AUDREY FERNANDEZ-FRASER, PRACTICING AWE WAS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED AS PART OF GRACE FARMS PRACTICING SERIES WITH ARTS INITIATIVE DIRECTOR KENYON ADAMS.

“When I arrived there I was just blown away by the space, the architecture and the concept of Grace Farms—honestly it feels like they are both one thing (concept and building), and that’s what is so unique about it,” says Miller, a Guggenheim Fellow. “I was actually in awe! … Two words kept coming to us: vastness and accommodation. That notion of something that is larger than oneself and how does one accommodate oneself within that?”
