I believe I saw my private God:
Imageless like the wind, sabotaging the crude gait
Of slim doubt, slipping from one country
Of my indifferent body       into another.

We’ve received some amazing art and photography, and have been meaning for some time to create a gallery that highlights all of this work in one place. Now, we’ve finally put it together, and it feels so fantastic to see it all in one place!
