To not just want and ask for protection from others, but to learn to protect others from myself. This is a core aspect of collectivism. It’s a 180 of how we usually think in our radically-individualized, self preservation  survival mode from which  we mostly operate. It’s difficult, but it’s made me see another perspective, that others can be a victim of me, my opinion, judgment, and interference on their personal path. I choose to enjoy people  as they are without my input.

 

 

“Wisdom is offered to me through shamanic training and world traveling is my inspiration. Making art pieces on concepts such as ‘forgiveness’ or ‘balance’ is my study of relationships with life. 

As I work my pieces, I can meditate on the aspects of the concept and work these perceptions into the construction for an evolving understanding of the original concept. I work with many materials; from hand-dyeing fabrics to painting, sewing, beading, collage.  

As I cultivate a piece, concepts develop further into the abstract, to ultimately create a story that is personal to me, but still open to free interpretation.”
