MY BIRD TRIBE RETURNS
“Color has returned once again to the studio, and the joy is obvious in the prolific last few months of creating my newest body of work.” MY BIRD TRIBE RETURNS”
INSPIRED BY THE BOOK “RETURN OF THE BIRD TRIBE BY KEN CAREY “ AND HARKENING BACK TO MY NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTRY, I INTRODUCE A NEW COLLECTION OF FIGURATIVE WORKS, INCLUDING IMAGES OF BIRDS AND FLORALS. THIS SERIES REPRESENTS BIRDS AS ARCHETYPAL SYMBOLS FOR THE SPIRIT AND AS MESSENGERS, REFLECTING A HIGHER DIMENSIONAL ASPECT OF BEING.
THE FACES ARE INSPIRED AND REMINISCENT OF MY ISLAND PEOPLE CIRCA 199O’S EACH FIGURE IS ONE OF A KIND ORIGINAL ARTWORK. BIRD AND FLOWER IMAGES CONSIST OF HAND-CARVED WOODBLOCK PRINTS, SILKSCREENS, ETCHINGS, AND CUSTOM-DESIGNED HANDPRINTED PAPERS, WAX, AND PIGMENTS.
I HAVE INCLUDED WORKS ON ARCHIVAL HANDMADE PAPER CREATED WITH A CUMULATION OF TECHNIQUES ADDED TO MY REPERTOIRE OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. THESE MAY INCLUDE BATIK, SERIGRAPHS PRINTS, BLOCK-PRINTING, COLLAGE, AND ENCAUSTIC.
