This March, Portland-based artist Gelsey Amelia finished installation of a stunning original mural in one of our bathrooms, and we are over the moon about it. 

Enjoy ‘A Prayer’, up indefinitely, commissioned by SPACE. 

A PRAYER–

for liberation & abundance of all living things 
abandon the myth of scarcity
gratitude for fruits & soil, air & water, plants & animals envision an end to empire & colonial occupation 
freedom for all oppressed beings on this earth 
free palestine, free them all


Gelsey Amelia (she/they) is a queer multidisciplinary artist whose work uses performance, illustration, plants, ritual & Installation to explore themes of transmutation, gay eroticism, nature, ancestry, mythology, & utopian/dystopian visions.
