Artist Statement

gidaanawe

in the place we gather

aniibiishikaa, I trace your soft, jagged edges

waabiskiwaabigwaan, you are transforming

into longer, sweeter days

ode’min giizis

I pause.

I breathe.

I bite.

I close my eyes, tasting all of you

anweshin, I lay my back against the land

to rest in the soil that holds us

and I too, become whole.
