About this
work...
These 'spirit
maidens' were inspired mostly by female Kachinas, but there are spirit
maidens in almost all cultures. I also wanted to show that a 'Spirit
Maiden' or having spiritual knowledge and power is not age dependent.
It is said one can be born with an old soul. If this is true, one can
also
be born with a new soul, a soul that approaches all with new eyes.
Whether new or old, one does not just happen upon their spirit one day,
it is ever present.
For this work, I photographed vintage and authentic Native American
dolls. The main photograph was altered mostly through color changes and
using prototypical Native American female Kachina masks/faces.
