Hello! This month is the month of foraging. As I'm uploading this video, it is the full moon. I am calling it, the moon of the colored trees. I know this is a very special moon and that this season does not last long. Foraging is something that I began doing for my art when I attended school at the Burren College of Art in Ireland and I have been doing it and incorporating it into my art ever since. I wanted to make a video about it to show that it's not just about collecting supplies from nature, it's far deeper than that. It's a sacred practice and a spiritual practice. This is why I am so in awe of and inspired by the indigenous people of the Americas and the art they make and have made. I don't really know how to put this into words, so I'll stop now.

I reference the short film "The Great Kind Mystery" by artist Ella Morton.
