Introduction










                                     The Continuing Residents of the Spring 2023 Enso Circle
                                     come from all paths of life and from across the world. We

                                     span media and passions, goals and practices, and we share a
                                     commitment to the Circle that nourishes our work and our

                                     selves. Our lives challenged us in many difficult and
                                     wonderful ways this term. We rode the storms with courage
                                     and shared the bounty of our achievements freely. We found

                                     strength and focus in the bonds of the Circle, and ways to
                                     grow as we journeyed through our life experiences, from the

                                     joyous to the dark.



                                     Wildflowers survive and blossom in unlikely places: their
                                     lives ebbing and flowing with the rhythm of their

                                     environment, be it harsh or fertile. The members of this
                                     cohort are like a field of wildflowers in their own way: not
                                     bound by convention, blooming where we fall, supporting

                                     each other, and sharing our hearts and spirit with the worlds
                                     around us through our creative work.



                                     The pieces in this catalog reflect our experiences this spring,
                                     and many did not come easily. The bounty of this harvest is a

                                     testament to the resilience of our cohort to respond to what
                                     life presents us. Take a moment to delve into these rich and

                                     abundant works. Enjoy!
