Spent alot of yesterday and today carving images, which when printed make quite the lovely picture, but will hopefully serve a better purpose for me when pressed into clay...

The lost token of a native people, the dreamcatcher, transformed into a round of barbed wire with a fence post running through it.. and a tomahawk readying or the kill.

Stagecoach #1 & 2, the second a must, after carving the first and printing it, only to realize that a mirror image was necessary to make the coach head due west! (an "Ah Ha!" moment to be sure.)
I am using this (#2) with the tomahawk, on a panel of clay regarding the colonization of the west in the U.S., for my upcoming show in April. The same piece will also include a "scalp" in 3-D, made of ceramic. I am very excited about this focus right now. Hooray for this push toward cowboys and indians!!
