Revised Artist Statement


I seek to reconnect.  To once again have a romantic relationship with my Nagual, and to have his influence flood my mind and guide my hand.  I will reassure him, that I am faithful, patient and alert.  I challenged myself to perform in front of an audience, something that terrifies me, for his attention.  I have felt my Nagual when I carved the long, thin muscles of the trapezius; and when I started weaving branches together in Fascia.  At the beginning, I saw nothing, but then hints of something more began to appear.  He guided my hand and showed me a little more until it was over, and I could see every muscle fiber.  My gravest mistake was thinking that I could command my Nagual; calling myself a creator when all along my inspiration was what introduced new ideas, materials and situations to me.  I should have told him how grateful I was that he chose me, and that nothing I did could be without his influence supporting me, for all the work I claim to have done, none of them could be without my muse.
