They honour my knowledge and experiences throughout First Nations art across our lands and hold me in very high esteem. The way it should be. My power to influence and expand the spiritual energy and consciousness at the gallery is the best freedom Ive ever found in working with any gallery or institution. They allow me to shine, to speak the truth and share everything I’ve learned along the journey.
They see me as a vast resource and indeed I am. It’s a beautiful fit in every sense of the word.
I have pure freedom to be me. They are never embarrassed or intimidated in any way shape or form. They truly support me. Like a real family member and I too show them this same spirit and awareness. We work together so well. No issues, no power struggles, no fuckin weirdness whatsoever. I’m so happy about it.
You know, I’ll tell you this. There are 3 types of people in life. The weak cup of coffee, the medium cup of coffee and like me, the strong cup of coffee. That’s just the truth of the matter. I don’t fuck around and I stand in my truth with strength and real spiritual power. I know I rub people the wrong way and many find me very challenging and difficult to deal with.
But it’s not because I’m fucked up or mentally ill or a dark personality or whatever else people dream up in their little warped minds about me. Ive been dealing with that shit for years. It’s because I’m principled. I’m intelligent and very straight forward and I’ll tell you the truth regardless of your feelings or beliefs or delusions.
This is the reality. I’m not some bent codependent wimp struggling with trying to fit in. I personally don’t give a fuck what you or anyone else may think. Not regarding honesty. I’ll lay it all out for you. Precisely. On point. And I won’t take shit from anyone. I’m also very reasonable and fair. But if you cannot see your wicked ways, your errors, your defects of character and your hidden agendas? My soul will expose you and I’ll see right fuckin through you. That’s why most struggle with me.
All my relations and more to come....
