February Art Wall: Gillian Renault – Looking Beyond One’s Self FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Santa Monica, CA, Feb. 1, 2019 — The February Art Wall will feature some of artist Gillian Renault’s most priceless work with an opening reception on Sunday, February 3 from 12 pm to 1:30 pm in Forbes immediately after the UU Santa Monica services. A featured piece entitled “Cover to Cover” tells the story of Renault father’s life, the highs and lows as she puts it in an email. Letting go of any of this art would be like cutting a chapter out of a novel or cutting years out of her own life. “I want the work to inspire people to contemplate their own relationships with parents or elders whom they [may] have lost through death or for other reasons,” Renault said, “That’s why I show it. I hope people leave the show changed even if just a little.” “Cover to Cover” chronicles the life of Renault’s father and is designed to encourage viewers to contemplate the strengths and flaws of the lives of their parents and elders, how their lives were shaped by them in order to understand how they carry them in their psyches forever. Renault’s work was featured in Atlanta, Georgia by Universalist Unitarian’s First Existentialist congregation, Mercer University and Richards Gallery at Georgia Tech University. Another similar work featuring her maternal relationship was first premiered in Atlanta, 2002. Born on the island of Jersey, Renault is a self-taught artist who has lived in the United States since the 70s. In 2012, with 25 years of media experience she pivoted professionally and completed a two-year Chaplaincy Program at the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe. She then was ordained as a Buddhist lay minister and now a hospice chaplain. To view this month’s installment after the February 3 reception contact Nancy Thompson at assistant@uusm.org or dial 310-829-5436 x102. Accessible parking is available behind the church.

Our second task will be to review the draft Statement of Conscience on CivilLiberties that arose out of GA in June 2004. This is the Study/Action Issuewe discussed last year. It is now in the pipeline as the next official Statementof Conscience for the UUA. We’ll review the draft to educate ourselvesand to provide guidance to our congregational delegates when they vote in Juneto accept or reject the final document. Our third task involves a review of the current Study/Action Issue on PrisonReform that is being pursued nationwide. We will decide whether or not to becomeinvolved in this Study/Action Issue. Our final task will be to inform ourselves about the newest official UUA Statementof Conscience on Economic Globalization and the five new Actions of ImmediateWitness that were officially endorsed at General Assembly in Boston inJune 2004. These Actions of Immediate Witness include (1) AmeriCorps, (2) depleteduranium munitions, (3) global HIV/AIDS, (4) public hearings on Iraq, and (5)women’s rights. Since this is not an official business meeting of thechurch, all votes are non-binding. Although no homework or advance preparationis required, participants are encouraged to check the UUA Commission on SocialWitness website at www.uua.org/csw/soc2004.html. What we really want is yourhelp in prioritizing these worthwhile issues. —Charles Haskell,
