Spiritual Convergence
Mixed-media including acrylilc, crayon, enamel, and transfer
The
message I portray in this work is one of radical hospitality
representing humans living in community and embracing the
abundance of gifts we must hold in sacred trust.
Left
panel:
•
Spawning salmonids under an ethereal image of the earth
confronted with human presence.
• Three
human forms represent a strong presence of human power and
reflection.
Two
seated human images reflect on their awe of creation. Above
them is a glimpse of terrestrial landscape. Above the land
forms, a blue area spans two panels representing integration
of sky and water to sustain life—lifting up and pouring down.
Right
panel:
• Three
human forms representing First Nations people weighing in with
their own thoughts and above the image to the far right
appears an ascending salmon.
• At the lower right is a landscape depicting fields and
hills.
