One
With by Judy Larson
Iyuptala: Ee-yoo-P'TAH-lah. "The Native
American's relationship with the elements, the earth and its inhabitants
were viewed as "one with." He moved through nature as he did with
his animals, not as an owner or as a subduer, but as an equal, a
companion, a brother. Total trust existed between the Native American
and his horse, with whom he was "one with." They moved together
as one. They understood each other. They listened to each other.
So powerful was this understanding, this respect, that the very
rocks in One With speak of this relationship. Nature, the animal,
and the Native American are as one unit. There is no question. The
Native American and his horse belonged here, "one with" each other,
with their Creator, and with His creation" These are the words of
artist Judy Larson whose eloquence is clearly not limited to her
art. Judy's passion has earned her the standing as one of America's
leading artists. Her technique, the painstakingly detailed process
of scratchboard, lends itself wonderfully to her art.
