Vermont Retrospective Movies!
On June 20th I had a second reception for my Earth Consciousness & Cultural Revelations show at C.X. Silver Gallery in Brattleboro, Vermont. The reception included an artist talk followed by questions and group discussion.
Unlike the first reception back in April, there was no snow storm to contend with (or bears for that matter), only a torrential downpour upon arriving back in Vermont the day before. It just so happened that the day after the reception was the Summer Solstice, so I hung around for some of the festivities in Brattleboro.
Watch movie clips from the E.C.C.R. show below (and feel free to leave a reply at the bottom of this page)!
The first one is an overview, covering both receptions, the book launch, and the artist talk.
E.C.C.R. Overview (5:36 min.):
The next five clips cover the content of the artist talk, examining the inspiration behind the four series of mixed media work covered in the book:
- The “Spiritual Ground” series, hand made collages documenting my process of identification and reconnection to my southeastern tribal roots through visions and chance meetings.
- The “Awakening” series, digital composite prints expanding on the “Spiritual Ground” series and illustrating more specific cultural revelations.
- The recently completed “Ancestral Spaceship” series, 3-D assemblage works that illustrate some of the creation stories and ceremonial cycles of my Indigenous ancestors.
- The “Indigenous Iconic Earth Altar”, a large fiber installation and tribute to the indigenous “We Are All Related” philosophy.
