EveryBODY has a Story: The Eyes of the Spider

"A couple of years ago, Sage and I sat down to talk about an image. I wanted a large back piece, and it took some working out to decide exactly how to place it.

I had had some very intense things happen to me at that point in my life, the results of which were that the father of my children could no longer be with us.

I worked then and now at Seventh Revolution Productions, promoting music and setting up electronica shows. I was not expecting to be a single mother.

At that time, my children were three and five and I identified with the spider as a power animal. I never felt that the spider was enclosed in its web, but that instead, it took being a spider to have the creative force necessary to make an amazing piece of art like a web.

When I sat down with Sage, I decided that I wanted a giant web with a spider reaching towards the top. The eyes in the web represent the eyes of higher consciousness. This is my attempt to illustrate that goal for myself.

I suppose that I have generally been overwhelmed by the negative conduct in our society. The intense lack of individual and personal connections in our world has left us with a fundamental breakdown in the social fabric. The remedy is to open our eyes to each other and to focus on creation."
