Happy Spring from the Hills of Southern Vermont, Where I’m Having a Book Launch & Art Exhibition!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Well, Spring equinox has come and gone, and back home in North Carolina the dreaded “green dust” has already fallen, while up here in Vermont they’ve still got a significant coating of snow…and expecting more soon!! Since my Winter Holiday newsletter it may seem that I fell off the face of the earth when, in fact, 2017 for me so far (other than teaching full time) has been consumed by working feverishly on a goal I’ve had for many years:\u00a0compiling a fine art book…hence my\u00a0Book Launch & Art Exhibition in southern Vermont!<\/p>\n

C.X. Silver Gallery<\/h3>\n

Thanks to C.X. Silver Gallery in Brattleboro, Vermont, this wish has come to fruition!<\/p>\n

So I now crawl out of my “incubation den” to introduce to you\u00a0Earth Consciousness and Cultural Revelations, <\/strong><\/em>a book\u00a0about my various composite art forms and the southern “Native American Roots” journey that inspired it!<\/p>\n

The “Ancestral Spaceship” Series<\/h3>\n

Published upon completion of “The Ancestral Spaceship Series” of mixed media assemblage sculptures, Earth Consciousness and Cultural Revelations is the summation of a 20-year journey of inquiry and a deep excavation of information pertaining to my Tuscarora and Osage Native American\u00a0heritage.<\/p>\n

Book Launch & Art Exhibition in Southern Vermont<\/h3>\n

I am having a\u00a0Book Launch & Art Exhibition entitled\u00a0Earth Consciousness and Cultural Revelations<\/strong>\u00a0at C.X. Silver Gallery in Brattleboro, Vermont this weekend.<\/p>\n

…and you\u00a0are most definitely\u00a0invited to attend the\u00a0reception at C.X. Silver Gallery, 814 Western Avenue in Brattleboro on Saturday April 1st from 4-6pm.<\/p>\n

C.X. Silver Gallery is open daily by appointment. For further information and to plan a visit, contact the Gallery, 802-257-7898.<\/p>\n

This 24-piece retrospective exhibition runs\u00a0from March 31\u00a0through\u00a0September 25, 2017, so there is plenty of time to come have a look if you are in the area…New Englanders,\u00a0I especially hope you can make it!<\/p>\n

The book and exhibit include works from several series: The “Awakening” Series<\/strong>, framed digital composite prints focusing on a theme of Native American cultural reawakening and regeneration; the recently completed “Ancestral Spaceship” Series<\/strong>, 3-D assemblage pieces that expand\u00a0on\u00a0The “Awakening” Series<\/strong>\u00a0and illustrate some of the creation stories and ceremonial\/seasonal cycles of my Indigenous ancestors;\u00a0and the\u00a0“Indigenous Iconic Earth Altar”<\/strong>, a large fiber installation and tribute to the indigenous “We Are All Related” philosophy and to our life support system, the earth. The I.I.E.A. took 3 years to complete and is the\u00a0fruit of my journey, research and labor.<\/p>\n

Packing My Art for a Two Day\u00a0Road Trip to My\u00a0Book Launch & Art Exhibition in Southern Vermont:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………..How in \u00a0#$*% \u00a0am I going to do this?<\/p><\/div>\n

Along with the Dog and Crate!<\/h3>\n

Miraculously, I managed to stuff this 24 piece retrospective (along with the dog and crate) into my little Rav 4…by suspending a plywood board to the ceiling with straps, like a mini loft for the large fiber pieces to rest on, and then I packed the framed prints and sculptures underneath!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
