Deeper Into the Merging Tree Limbs

Created with Willie Ermine's concept of mamatowisowin, creating within the inner space, this is the beginning of healing.Titles are lines from a piece I wrote while creating the 'All My Relations' series.

“The notions of my homeplace, family, and my family’s heritage with a core concept of “all my relations” are the driving forces in my work. Through the use of natural materials such as rocks and soil from my homeplace I am rediscovering and strengthening my connections to ancestors and land. ”
