Rainy day in New York. The mist starts to lift and the reflection of lights on the wet street sets this scene as one to remember.
Early morning sunrise lights the streets on the transit route in downtown Calgary.
A walk along the forest on Vancouver Island.
Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, during the smokey times when fires raged in British Columbia a few hundred miles to the west.
An old warrior watches an early snow dust the land where his children once played, where young men hunted and a woman's gentle laughter danced in the fire with the soup. He remembers many bullets and has taken many lives in his living years. But he is old now. He remembers the spirit helpers that gave his life and anger such purpose and power. He acknowledges them and tucks a bit of the land into the folds of his blanket. *Artists notation: zooming up to the crook of Geronimo's folded arm, you can see tucked safely away in the folds of his blanket, are the memories of the places he's loved the most.
Art story: The setting sun could not still the falling snow. The night came on like a lover’s embrace, unyielding and silent, always silent.
Art story: She was a warrior child, always fast with sharp, intelligent words of fire. Her sister was born to the peace and eroding power of Nibi, the water. When the Deep Earth Mountains explode and when the great rivers erase the ground, the sisters are fighting. The Firewater sisters are known to bring great confusion to the children of the Earth whenever they fight.
Art story: The ancient stones of the Great Northern Shield have seen endless freezing and countless thaws. The stones keep the stories of travellers and bear the scars of an ever-moving wind. The trickle of ancestral waters carries the echoes of ancient incantations. They hold the secrets of birthed babies, bone rattles and ceremonial markings made by nomads who have given their lives and bodies to the land. Bones and stones, water and life become one with the land, just as we all must become one with the land.
Art Story: The call home to the Creator is not meant to be understood. It is part of the Great Mystery. His brother was called home before they could dance again, and his heart was heavy that day when he took his friend's dance stick into the circle. As the drum reached into him, the sacred growls of the singers, and powerful honour beats enveloped him in a golden light as he danced his brother home.
