foil £60
blotter £20Being a teenager in the Southern United States during the 70's, and having parents who were hardcore country music fans, the Eagles were one of my first loves. They were a transition from country music to rock and roll for me. Today they are still a guilty pleasure of mine. When I first heard the song Witchy Woman the lyrics conjured up images of this mystical, sexy woman who could have her way with you and leave you wanting more. As I grew older and became exposed to other religions and cultures I grew to associate the song more with the emotions pagan rituals and raw lust evoke in my mind.
The lyrics explore a damning tale of beauty, lust and the feminine power that these mysterious creatures called women have over men. When asked to illustrate this project, I immediately envisioned a pagan dancer shrouded in a swirling mist conjuring animal guides; visions I myself had experienced while under the influence of peyote. The style of art used in the piece are based heavily on Native American Visionary art. I credit Oscar Howe, Blackbear Bosin and Rance Hood, all practitioners who popularized this style art, as being a major influences on my work in the visionary aspects of my career."
