A few years back Ramekon O’Arwisters ( @ramekon ) was the artist in Residence at the elementary school I teach at. When Ramakan first stood in front of the students on his first day he stood quietly in front of the kids and there was this long pause as he held his knitting needle in one hand and a piece of fabric in his other. He said, I'm not going to tell you, I'm going to show you. Watch me." I have never heard such silence and felt such focus with my students. He did the same thing over and over again and the kids had it. Ramekins gift is not just as an artist but as a person who brings people together with a practice of social art work. His work as an artist is astounding, his work as a human is exemplary.
