The lightening bolts connecting the sky to the earth are Thunder Beings, whose electricity helped create the universe. The lower half shows the globe with the turtle as the symbol for the land. Also shown are the tree of peace and the blue flame of purpose (half way up the tree), as it came to me unfettered in a dream!
"Seenoevil: Resurrection Of Chief Bigfoot" is part of the "Awakening" series (2001 - present) of mixed media composites. This expressionistic series addresses parallel themes of Native American cultural reawakening and human kinship with the natural environment. It illustrates the organic beauty I find in the elements and invokes the concept of transformation, often using southeastern mound culture designs and concepts. The process involves the piecing together of photographic elements, with original hand rendered art and digital editing, to create a hybrid. Likewise, the combination of organic patterns, figures and cultural references creates a conceptual merging.
Medium: mixed media composite using photos, feathers, original acrylic paintings, pencil drawings, relief prints & digital editing.
Print format: variable media
