Luxurious, softly textured foxtail grass
patterns itself by the wind’s direction.
Its iridescent fibres catch the sun’s rays and amplify their colour spectrum.
The wind and the sun become artists playing out their muse
on this natural medium. The grass exists in service
to the greater elements in its life and
is beautiful in its humble arrangements.

As First Peoples grew more proficient at survival, how could they not
become artists when nature offered inspiration all around them?
How could people feel the pull of such beauty and not be compelled to
create it themselves? And even now, how can an artist not respond
to the creative beauty that continues to be naturally produced?
