Kumulipo Gourd Babies |
A husband of gourd, and yet a god,
A tendril strengthened by water and grew
A being, produced by earth and spread,
Made deafening by the swiftness of Time
Of the Hee that lengthened through the night,
That filled and kept on filling
Of filling, until, filled
To filling, ’tis full,
And supported the earth, which held the heaven
On the wing of Time, the night is for Kumulipo (creation),
’Tis night. -
15th verse of
the Kumulipo

I am interested in all cultures and religions.

at the Kentucky Crafted: The Market
The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place:
from the sky,
from the earth,
from a scrap of paper,
from a passing shape,
from a spider's web.
