My artist statement is in the form of a poem:
Five quarters
There is a message for us
In
Nature
Speaking Clearly with
No
Words
Some of us are listening
Too many
Are
Not.
Our Mother Earth is Crying
Dry Tears
Of
Disbelief
Why, when I nurtured you
Protected you
Fed and clothed
You
Gave you beauty to behold
Do you
Strip me of
My
Very
Soul.
Oh, Mother Earth
Some of us
Cry with you
But
Not All.
Oh, Ancient Protector
Of the Forest
With Your
Crescent Moon Horns
Please
Help Us
Remind Us
Of
All we once knew
And Respected.
The Rituals of the Seasons
Like a
Rhythm
In
Our
Soul
Calling...calling...
