Prototyping floor lamps to exhibit prints depicting the local lands. Grateful to my neighbour who not only showed me basic woodworking skills and lent me his tools today, but also gifted me a precious piece of Sparwood fir, which we sanded down, cut to beams and joined.

Time for final visits to Ksistakiahkoinimaan before the season is fully closing. Pay respect, listen to Beaver stories and be thankful for the gifts the animals provided this year.

June is the month of herbal ecstasy and so I took my dear friend up a hillside to introduce her to my herbal friends along the way and Fireweed up on top. She gifted us all with her beautiful voice and song, in return, full of praise and healing.

I enjoy braiding Sipatsimo for gifts to my Blackfoot teachers, friends and peeps who need some lifting energies, and most importantly, the person who gifted me with the first Sweetgras plant a few years ago. Around Summer Solstice, Sipatsimo grows most happily.

Da komm ich her, da geh ich hin... kanns gar nicht mehr erwarten... (schlechter Reim, aber wahr)

My home waters are calling me louder with every day that time is counting backwards for me.

Swallowtail's reappearance tells me summer is here, which, in turn, means the reenactment of ancient renewal practices by the local #Blackfoot custodians. To me it also means to listen more closely to see which dreams are worth to be brought to life this open season.

Gone for the day to dip into the healing waters in Paahtomaahsikimi, known as #waterton, and greet Ksisstakiahkoinimaan, Mistakistsi ki Misaamistsi along the way

Crow eying me while walking across the road.

#cyanotype on a wooden board I forgot I had painted to sunprint last year.

I appreciate those making the efforts of greeting and caring for many of the beings who share the space with us on the lands surrounding #yql #Sikoohkotooki. Caring for water is difficult these days, all the more love and deep respect to those who make water work their work.

It's probably no coincidence that my awareness for Crows is growing these days. I seem to need to learn from how to best move through change in ways where I can gather what I need from past times, but leave what would hinder from living a full life going forward.

Still experimenting with adding depth to the deep blues. Not the easiest when clouds seem to enjoy teasing you. We've been playing this game that as soon I bring out the #cyanoprint paper, Sun goes into playing hide and seek with me.

My interactions with Owl are usually few but special. This #cyanotype print captures an evening in the #yql river bottom when Great Horned Owl called out to say she would watch over me. We respectfully eyed each other before my climb back up the hill into town.

I enjoy exploring Crows, not only to grow into my name more. What sustains the process is that every time I open doors/ windows or move through Niitsitapi landscapes, my namesakes and teachers instantly make themselves heard or show up flowing across.

Such a special feeling to be greeted by these majestic beauties flying over you early in the morning at the Oldman in #yql

My 1st ever pop up market to finance low cost herbal community education in #yql and beyond. Art is but one way to sneak plants into people's lives ÷)

Medicine on the prairies series - innii ki piitaa.

Square prairie themed babushka dolls. How small can you go recycling cardboard for shoju lamps? At this point 6 is the limit.

Recycling to illuminate life. Looking at Ninnaistako every day is a pleasure, and now I can do it despite the distance between us.
