Mask

 Many of my masks were influenced by the work of indigenous Alaskans. This quote is from a book Kendall found for me. Yua: Henri Matisse and the Inner Arctic Spirit . "Yu’pik (Native Alaskan) is a word that represents the spiritual interconnectedness of all things…" 
I am looking forward to a book titled Finding the Mother Tree  by Suzanne Simard which will be published in May.  "Mychorrizal networks...knit Earth's soils into a nearly contiguous network of unfathomable scale and complexity." 
Exploring this interconnectedness on a spiritual, physical and ethical level drives my work.
