Cultural Journey
All these things swimming in the creative part of my brain have always been a big driving force in my creative journey. A lot of times the elements are interpreted differently then what I had intended which is fine because it adds to the story. I let the materials speak to my gut and they get a say in how the composition is designed. In my culture women, with their nurturing qualities are associated with earth, while men are associated with the sky. Old Navajo tradition has a belief that there are four genders. With the influence of modern religion the belief is no longer as strong or practiced. However it has found its way into my creative journey.
