#cultivateawe : Pride. Artwork by @ganondagan Site Manager @gpeterjemison_art, at @smithsoniannmai! #repost @smithsoniannmai ・・・ G. Peter Jemison (Seneca, b. 1945). “Spring Cherry Blossoms” (three views), 2010. Victor, New York. Gift of the artist. 26/9748 ▫️ “The concept of orenda is that every living thing has a spirit, and that that spirt can be revealed to us, sometimes in a profound way and sometimes just that we see it. We see those living creatures and, well, everything—the trees, the bushes, the birds, the animals, the fish. Everything has that life force. And there’s such a crazy beauty in all of it. ▫️ “We’re fortunate when we focus and get the chance to really observe and be able to feel it. It’s one of the challenges of being human, to have this consciousness so that we are open to receiving and seeing things. Because sometimes we’re just so caught up in the day-to-day and whatever routine we’re into that we fail to recognize how amazing things are around us. And it’s just lucky when we do. ▫️ “I always feel that the purpose of art is to help us see. It isn’t just what someone made that we’re able to see because of art—it’s not just that painting or photograph or sculpture. But it’s as a result of seeing that that a channel is opened in us so that we can see things about us in the world that are truly beautiful. Even the simplest things.” —Peter Jemison
