“The ‘craft of making’ is an important part of the work I do. I seek to empower my clients by teaching them the age old crafts of the hands… among them the symbolic arts of talisman making, las ofrendas and retablos - those being anything from simple ribbon sticks to elaborate sculpture. Art is important for it commemorates the seasons of the soul, or of a special tragic event in the soul’s journey. Art is not just for oneself, not just a marker of one’s own understanding. It is also a map for those who follow after us.” As you might imagine, work with each person is customized in the extreme, for it is true people are made one to a kind. But these factors remain constant in my work with people and these are the fundament for all humans’ work before them today, my own work as well as yours. The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of hands - all these are the making of something and that something is soul. Any time we feed the soul it guarantees increase.”
