Kara Stewart  > Art Plus > Native Roots
"Is not the prairie different than the river? The mountains different than the plains? ... Are there not different realities to move among, to dance with? ... Learning to hunt within the night is as powerful within its teaching as learning to hunt within the day. When we hunt the invisible we must dance within that world. We must look closely at our invisible surroundings. There are worlds within worlds, and each one is unique. Each one is a wondrous adventure. These worlds are around us all the time!" -- from Little Wolf, The Black Lodge, Song of Heyoehkah, by Hyemeyohts Storm

Kara Stewart > Home

What is 'home'?  Who is 'home'?  Where is 'home'?  How do I find a home for myself in love, work and residence?  How and how much does my heritage figure into the components of home?

This piece visually represents the exploration of those questions and my continuing journey to find 'home'.
