Six months after the bombing the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, 140 survivors and families of victims came to Quartz Mounting in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma to participate in a four-day art institute organized by the Oklahoma Arts Institute. In the process of making art, the participants had an opportunity to share their experiences with each other and to personally express themselves in the work they produced.

The workshop spawned a traveling exhibition of the work, including poems, essays, baskets, sculpture, painting, and tapestry. This work became a symbol of healing. Aﾝ Following the tour, the works will become part of the archives of the permanent memorial at the site of the bombing.

This anthology documents much of the work produced by survivors at Quartz Mountain and featured in the exhibition. Excerpts from personal journals, together with essays and poems, guide the reader and offer insight into the lives of those who survived that tragic day and its aftermath.
