Come Out for First Friday!

Artist Statement
Skye Raine is a 27 year old Waynesboro local. Skye is passionate about mutual aid, giving support mentally & emotionally, while also offering resources to local communities. Her favorite things are nature, crafts, and helping others. The Art in Death showcases the beauty in what once was. This exhibit is to show what Skye has seen and heard from local community members and/or experienced herself over the years. Bones while being one of the strongest materials are easily discarded without any thought. The memories they hold are something indescribable to the human experience. Bones while strong can also be broken. Metal shows the need to try to mend something that cannot be fixed on its own anymore. Spikes represent protection when something or someone no longer feels safe. Combining all of the trauma over the years you can only handle but so much. Showcasing different stages, diseases, and issues. Whether it is death or life Skye is there to accept it with open arms.*The bones in this exhibit are ethically sourced, found hiking in Augusta/Nelson County*
Stop by the café on Friday evening to meet the artist, view the artwork, and enjoy light refreshments from the store!
