Dream Weaver - The Web of Life

"The mother's gift
Spun in light
The awakening of man
And soul's flight"

2011

Metallic Gel Pen on Illustration Board

I recently started my "Dream Weavers" series, and this piece was inspired by the the Navajo "Spider Woman" . . . but it took me a long time to realize the image, until I (with my family) was recently in the garden of a shaman friend. My daughter spied a white spider emerge from a flower she had picked, which we were all amazed, because it was the first time for all of us (including the shaman) to see a white spider.

This was a great omen for us, which had finally enacted on to paper.

Beautiful! (I really love all the details in the rainbow) This sort of reminds me of an old fable or story for some reason...

Ah! That's very interesting! But it's strange that I've never heard the "Spider Woman" story and it still feels familiar. Ah well. Great work! Keep it up!
