Inspiration is everywhere! In this case, a super strange seedpod I found on top of el Cerro de Culiacan (the dormant volcano by my in-law’s town here in Mexico.)
The pod came from a huge conifer/yew/something… I have no idea what the trees are, but they really know how to make interestingly textured shapes.
The top of the mountain is set aside as a nature preserve and also as a pilgrammage destination. There’s a church on top where people leave photos, prayers and even cut off their braids and pin them up.
I could write for novels about el Cerro. Maybe I will 😉
In the meantime, back to sculpting the barnacles and I’m starting some ink paintings…”visions of power.” Sneak peek next week!!
