Project Description

Walking Woman

Inspired by rock art of a walking woman at Kejimujik National Park in Nova Scotia and Mi’kmaq beadwork in honor of my Acadian ancestors and relations. The Double Spiral symbol on her dress hem shows up in Rock Art around the world and embodies the expansion and contraction of perpetual motion and the torus that energizes all life. This Moccasin Vamp Pair #3 is made of cut glass beads size 6, 8, and 15, on red cotton cloth backed with leather and edged with black satin ribbon.
