New Age Packaging of the Native American Spirit

This evolved from my interpretation of Philip Jenkins book Dreamcatchers, on how the white men had taken away the Indian religious practices, tried to Christianize them, and then wanted them to still be the "novel" characters in a poorly written saga about life in America! The painting is filled with symbolism from the colors of the medicine wheel to those of the Passion. To those familiar with Art History the story unravels itself in bits and pieces and mocks not our Native brothers and sisters, but the white men who tried to change them. Mixed media on canvas. 91.4cm x 91.4cm 2007.
