Hamlin Park Goddess Installation Project
The Hamlin Park Goddess Installation Project
In August of 2010, 1000+ crocheted doilies, created by women all over the world, will be installed on the forest floor in Hamlin Park in Shoreline, WA, as a way to recognize and celebrate women’s power and wisdom.
The Hamlin Park Goddess Installation Project is a social project that reconnects the Community of Women across the globe with one another, with the Earth, and with the Archetypal Feminine, through the actions of crocheting, of telling and retelling women’s stories, of reconnecting to the earth, and of ultimately installing 1000+ white crocheted doilies on the forest floor and performing a reading of women’s names inside of this installation.
In this Project, the repetitive movement of crocheting becomes a performance. This performance connects with the idea of cognitive memory - the memory of the rhythm or vibration of the universe of which we are an intricate part. All of the women involved in this project will perform this inherent vibration. The very act of crocheting will link them with all women throughout time, with the earth, and with the entire universe. The crocheted pieces themselves will become a map to this connection.
Five Ways to get involved:
1 Crochet a doily
2 Donate a doily
3 Join the Seattle Circle of Women
4 Donate Money
5 Sponsor the Project
