The Lamp Art Project is a radical living project.
Crucial to its dynamic is that it is not only sponsored by, but linked with, Lamp Community. Thereby vulnerable artists can be provided services and community.
Xochitl's lifelong love of art has been hightened yet also ironically and devastatingly ruptured by her schizophrenia.
A supportive art studio environment offered Gaby by the Art Project can be sometimes of no avail if her residential and psycho-pharmacological realities are not also highly supported and balanced.
Therefore the link between the Lamp Art Project and the Lamp Village residential services is far more critical than one might at first realize.
These can BOTH be necessary to truly provide an artist, living with severe mental illness, such as Gaby, with the actual potentiality to live and to create her art.
