Inspired by native bead work I began wrapping scrap telephone wire around the wood for its bright color and loved the tribal feel that resulted. While wrapping, it felt like I was carefully bandaging the cracked and weathered wood as I worked, as if I were healing a wounded limb or wing.
The longer I worked on the piece, the more I experienced it to be a powerfully symbolic process of healing by leaving much of the wood exposed, yet wrapping enough to begin healing—signified by bright, vibrant energy and the colors of one’s faith and hope. The reflective, black glass beads mark the time and individual reflection one needs for deep healing. The signature can lid “jingle” at the bottom of this piece, detailed with a single black, glass bead echoes the power of healing and the lightness that follows.
