When the tragic events of 9-11 struck, Keith was in the Shenandoah National Park on the Appalachian Trail (AT) and I was on a bus to join him that day to hike through the Park. It was quite a day getting to him since my bus had been halted short of my stop. Thanks to a friend with a car, I did join him where the AT crossed a road. We decided to continue our hike in spite of the events because the terrorists wanted to disrupt our way of life and we did not want them to succeed. Keith later finished the entire AT in Georgia. We have hiked many miles together. One thing Keith and I have experienced in common is that God has taught us spiritual truths consistent with the Bible while walking the trails. Neither Keith nor I are wise on our own. Any wisdom that is shared in these devotional stories is from God and the Bible. It is our hope that these lessons of wisdom gained on our hikes will be helpful to you as a reader on your own trail of life. The inspirational stories in Wisdom from the Trail can be meaningful for devotional times, for encouragement, for wisdom and for message illustrations. We pray that God will use these words to become living manna for each reader. ~Wayne Sheridan

Inspired by the notion of blikfang, a Danish word meaning 'eye-trap', Keith investigates her ongoing enthraldom with objects both old and new, creating installations that include t-shirts, handmade textiles, 20th century art and antiques. Throughout her installation series, Keith consciously employs the concept of blikfang by playing with specific eye-catching materials: glass, wirework, mirrors, pressed brass alongside beadwork, knitted wool and remnants of tapestry. Assembled together in often unexpected combinations, these installations invite the viewer to pause and delight in the materiality of objects. As Keith writes, she wants the viewer "to meditate on the fact that mirrors reflect, that glass shatters and wirework corrodes". Intertwined with their visual pull are the historical and personal associations materials can evoke. Keith encourages an awareness of these connotations, creating an atmosphere filled with potentially visually and emotionally charged objects. By trapping and holding the viewer's eye, Blikfang provokes a recollection of the various sentiments that we attach to the assortment of objects assembled"--Gallery website.
