In 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic meant that much of the world had come to a standstill, artist Ciara Phillips was invited by the Canadian charitable organisation, Partners in Art, to create a series of five artworks that could be shared on-line over a period of a week. For each day she made a poster that could be printed at home. Each artwork posed a question: What futures do we really want? Can we learn to truly embrace complexity? How can we be more caring? Do we have to be so controlling? On the final day, she proposed to ‘Spill Out Your Love’.
Phillips describes it as a reminder to herself and others that to move forward in this world in a more caring way, we need to loosen our grip on love, to allow it to touch beyond that which we think effects us immediately. She often cites the Scottish poet, Tom Leonard, whose poem ‘Being a Human Being’ asks us, “[…] not to put friends and family before the rest of the world, not to say I am wrong when you know the government is wrong […]”.
What to do with your love? Spill it out.
