They Call Me Coyote
This video, in two parts, gets to the heart of the whole series, “They Call Me Coyote”.
The first movie, "Crimes Against Conformity", begins with a reflection in a pool, representing a mirror of personal reflection and recollection. A place in which memories replay in a vague and solitary way, as memories often do. A story of living, conflict, judgement and loss plays out; with Sister Shotgun walking away from it all. She ultimately calls on a higher power: the Coyote. An animal that walks between two worlds; traditionally seen as sneaky, clever, and cunning, with a skill for survival.
The second movie, "They Call Me Coyote", begins with a rendition of a traditional Hispanic folk song. Historical context is provided for the term "Coyote", as the hand of the creator paints. The conceptual aspect of this series takes the use of the word coyote to an illogical conclusion, thus reclaiming and transforming it.

Connectivity
Acrylic on canvas. A view of my childhood and an exploration of connection. I was almost a teenager when for the first time, a phone line was connected to my home. It provided a connection to the outside world that I'd never experienced before. While there are several themes expressed through the symbolism in this landscape, the one of utmost importance are the lines running through and casting shadows over this landscape. I watched from the seat of my bicycle the day the lines connected my house to the outside world. It was rare to not have a telephone in the 80s, and I recall the day with great significance.
