Carrie Fell The First People have a
unique outline for life. It starts with
the thinking process to the
East, the planning process to the South, the living action to the West
and the satisfaction
or evolution process to the North. Everything
we do is clockwise, a perfectly timed and continuous circle – we do not
go
backwards. Over one year ago, a friend
and collector challenged
me to journey the four winds and I have been guided by the expressive
eyes and
reverent faces of my newest series titled Wisdom Bringers ever since. Man
did not create the web of life,
he is but a strand in it… Through each
of my paintings I work to illustrate though colorful imagery a true
western
spirit made up of pioneers, mavericks and bringers of wisdom. I sense that our teachers not only come in
the form of mans hand but also through all living spirits with a heart
line. Just as the horse is our warrior
spirit who carries us safely along our journey and the buffalo stands
so that we
may reconnect with the meaning of life respecting the sacredness in all
paths –
though they may be different than our own. I have held my ear to the
earth and have heard a
rumbling sound which cannot be ignored. Perhaps
it is time to pack a medicine bundle assembled with honor, love and
respect – together
with a profound understanding that we are part of everything and
everything is
a part of us. We are all One. – Carrie Fell Whatever
man does to the web, he does to himself. - Chief Seattle |
