Arcylic on wood panel - 12 by 6 by 1.5 inches
A perfect blue corn plant stands upon rich soil filled with plant seeds. Prayer feathers divide the corn plant, representing the Fifth World from this world, the Fourth World. A migration spiral represents this journey through worlds. Above, the Sun gives the world warmth and life.
This artwork honors the ancient mural-painting style by using matte, textured pigment paints that echo the original murals found at ancient Pueblo sites. Pueblo painting is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the Southwest, dating back over 4000 years.
