GRAVITY: gravity /ˈɡrævɪtɪ/
n ( pl -ties)
1- universal force of attraction; 2-seriousness or importance of a situation; 3- low frequency soundwaves, low pitch

In thinking about gravity, the first thing that comes to mind is usually related to falling down. Yes, gravity makes things fall, but it also keeps stuff standing firmly on the ground, and it stops things from floating away from us.


Gravity is also related to seriousness: a grave situation is a heavy one. And yet a grave sound, which refers to a sound with a low frequency or pitch, can be warm, gentle, soothing. It's a deep tone, like that of a bass drum, or a lion's roar. Some of the gravest of sounds can't be perceived by the human ear, yet they resonate in our bodies.

Patricia's favorite interpretation of gravity is the way we relate to each other as people: Who do we gravitate to? Who gravitates toward us? Are we aware that such force affects not just our physical realm but also our deepest desires?

Artist friends Ulla Anobile, Andrea Bogdan, Rosie Garcia, Sophia Gasparian, Mavis Leahy, Angela Maria Ortiz S., Kelly Thompson, and Ilaria Vestri of Disfairy will each be contributing a piece depicting their interpretation of GRAVITY.
