Dream Weaver Limited Edition Prints
Taken over the space of 9 years, the body of work titled, ‘Dream Weaver’, presents the quotidian, silent, simple, often overlooked aspects of life. In an age of uncertainty, it’s often the little things that remind us of being human that matter more.
In a world where images shout at the viewer, I believe there is a dignity in silence.
Descendents of the Tairona, an ancient South American civilization, indigenous group, the Arhuacos, reside in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The Arhuaco have developed an understanding of the earth which gives equal measure to the human mind and spirit and the forces of nature. The Sierra Nevada is a microcosm of earth: A seamless gradient of life that changes with each upward step.
Because of this unique feature, it is known as the ‘Heart of the World’ to the indigenous communities who inhabit the mountains and valleys. The Arhuaco say that when the world was created, they emerged from this very spot. They call it the Mother.
I use the quiet and quotidian nuances in life to present an intimate picture. Looking at the smaller, seemingly insignificant or unnoticed things, makes us appreciate the complex and delicate moments of everyday life.
Communicating the hidden connection between reality and dreams; a consideration of the beginning, middle and end. Everyday rituals which are continuously passed down over generations, the habits, traditions, are the outcome of wisdom and thoughts that help people and communities survive. We often overlook the small and unseen in favour of the big and dominant.
Transforming the gaze from male to female, I have been able to capture the most intimate moments of life amongst the woman and celebrate the theme of trust amongst women. I create best when making intimate connections, whether it be with a community of people, or a place and landscape.
I am proud to honour the story of the Arhuacas, Wati, carrying their story with me, as part of me forever.
