The land knows you, even when you are lost.

Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

The Knotted Mind

This piece symbolizes the struggles artists face—be it financial, emotional, or spiritual. Yet, despite this emptiness, his mind burns with an unstoppable force, representing inspiration, obsession, and the compulsion to create.

Heima glaðr gumi, ok við gesti reifr, sviðr skal um sik vera. Minnigr ok málugr, ef hann vill margfróðr vera, opt skal góðs geta.

'If you want to be very wise, be happy at home, and cheerful with guests. Cultivate wisdom, a good memory and eloquence, and speak kind words often.'

-- Hávamál 103, tr. Jackson Crawford.
