"Bearer of Light" 12x18 giclee paper print
About:
On my urban neighborhood walks I would see these two plants growing everywhere together; blackberry and morning glory. I began to wonder about this symbiotic relationship. Looking closer I could see that the morning glory was much too fragile to grow tall and meet the full sun without the aid of the blackberry. In return the blackberry was blessed with an increase in bees attracted to the large flowers of morning glory. It seemed like a mutually beneficial relationship.
As for the totem, I basically wanted to design a psychedelic totem pole. I had this drawn out on the board before I decided to bring it with me to a weekend festival up in Squamish BC. When I arrived I was shocked to see that I had drawn the mountains and crescent moon almost exactly as they appeared that night from my easel! Furthermore there was a very strong First Nation presence there that weekend and the totem pole felt very appropriate.
