of Alyssia's face. She must have been Four years. She sat so patiently while i applied all the wet strips of plaster gauze. Until they dried enough to finally remove from her. I think, in El Cerro Mission, N Mex? the figure holds a frayed Sweet Grass braid a Cottonwood branch
You may have used Alyssia’s face, but I so feel you and young Emrie in this child. She is exquisite.

I’m completely stunned into awe seeing these. Have lingered over the photos. They all seem to capture some real essence of beingness. Even in photographs. Thank you for taking another look at them and sharing.

the jackknife…beginning with one crack just going from
there
