Inherent in this view is the belief that beauty and art can change our thought processes, elevate our perceptions, and nurture the natural beauty of our souls. These ideas captured my attention, in large part because they align beautifully with the work I have undertaken over the past 15 years.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarageffenstudios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Final-Fabrication-and-Production-Booklet.pdf\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amarageffenstudios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Final-Fabrication-and-Production-Booklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Final Production and Fabrication Booklet.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5iSFm3__uUQ\" width=\"310\" height=\"176\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"grid-gallery-4-67453\" data-gg-id=\"4\" data-title=\"Erie, PA Poetry Park Project\" data-grid-type=\"0\" data-offset=\"8.3\" data-area-position=\"center\" data-icons=\"\" data-preloader=\"true\" data-width=\"150\" data-height=\"150\" data-padding=\"0\" data-quicksand=\"disabled\" data-quicksand-duration=\"none\" data-popup-theme=\"theme_2\" data-popup-type=\"colorbox\" data-popup-fadeOut=\"300\" data-popup-captions=\"hide\" data-popup-image-text=\"data-description\" data-popup-widthsize=\"auto\" data-popup-heightsize=\"auto\" data-popup-i18n-words=\"{&quot;close&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;next&quot;:&quot;next&quot;,&quot;previous&quot;:&quot;previous&quot;,&quot;start_slideshow&quot;:&quot;start slideshow&quot;,&quot;stop_slideshow&quot;:&quot;stop slideshow&quot;,&quot;image&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;of&quot;:&quot;of&quot;,&quot;prev&quot;:&quot;prev&quot;,&quot;cExpand&quot;:&quot;Expand&quot;,&quot;cPrevious&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;cNext&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;cExpandStr&quot;:&quot;Expand the image&quot;,&quot;cRotate&quot;:&quot;Rotate&quot;,&quot;cDetails&quot;:&quot;Details&quot;}\" data-popup-slideshow=\"false\" data-popup-slideshow-speed=\"2500\" data-popup-hoverstop=\"true\" data-popup-slideshow-auto=\"false\" data-popup-background=\"\" data-popup-transparency=\"30\" data-popup-disable-history=\"\" data-popup-disable-changed-url=\"\" data-popup-border-type=\"solid\" data-popup-border-color=\"\" data-popup-border-width=\"\" data-popup-border-enable=\"\" data-fullscreen=\"false\" data-hide-tooltip=\"false\" data-caption-font-family=\"Default\" data-caption-text-size=\"140\" data-is-mobile=\"0\" data-caption-mobile=\"false\" data-hide-long-tltp-title=\"1\" data-caption-disabled-on-mobile=\"false\" data-popup-placement-type=\"0\" data-social-sharing=\"{&quot;enabled&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;gallerySharing&quot;:{&quot;enabled&quot;:null,&quot;position&quot;:null},&quot;imageSharing&quot;:{&quot;enabled&quot;:null,&quot;wrapperClass&quot;:&quot;
