Princess of small creatures

Last Thursday wakanomori and I were in the town of Turner's Falls, and we saw this fabulous mural (photo is his).



So much story in there. I'm ready to like this lady of small creatures right away.

She's beautiful. And I love that where other artists have interacted with her, they seem to have done so in ways that enhance rather than deface her symbolism: a bird, fishbones, the moon, a star; the grinning animal masks beside her. I think the houses in her sleeves are original, but maybe not. She looks like a living shrine.

That's a great way of putting it. She seems like a protector, and it's like everything that gets added to her is commended to her protection.

I like that!
