“The Americas From Afar” is a tribute to the native nations of
the American southland of Chile to the northern Arctic
Circle,
and the accomplishments of their societies through astrology, civics, agriculture,
architecture and art.
The viewpoint is from a spatial orbit on the underside of the
earth, transforming the viewer into a space traveler! The viewer is
witness to the rotating earths on the lower potion of the mural, to bring
attention to current concerns and dangers of changing climate, melting
ice caps,
electro magnetic polar shifts and the affects of rapid technology.
Simultaneously, the mural pays tribute to the Mayan
calendar
that ends in 2012. A positive interpretation suggests that during this transition,
the planet and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual
transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era.
