\u201cI could leave the world with today in my eyes.\u201d -Truman Capote,\u00a0A Christmas Memory<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Ultimately, a life is made up of moments that become memories. During this season of the year, those moments and memories can feel heightened for many, for better or worse. The holidays evoke a manner of strong emotions, some warm and nostalgic, others difficult and cold. To manage these days of intensity, give yourself permission to be gentle and kind with your own psyche. Practice self-care in the form of walks outside and plenty of rest.<\/p>\n

Bumin Kim<\/a> joined us to discuss her exhibition,\u00a0The Seasons<\/em><\/a>, which ran until November 24 at SWPK Gallery. The title is inspired by Tchaikovsky\u2019s musical composition of the same name, a nod to Kim\u2019s habit of listening to music while she works. The show is a collection of 12 pieces, each named after a month. To learn more, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

George H. Waterman III<\/a> sat down with us back in 2017, calling in from New London, CT.

Today, the historic Harris Building in New London contains more than 100,000 items and the website offers a searchable database of these resources.
