Description: In artworks that mingle printingmaking and painting, Eduardo Fausti explores themes from the natural world. Fausti is as interested in natural history as in cultural history. And, in visual terms, he muses about what happens when the two collide.
For "Oneida Tradition" Eduardo Fausti found a source within that Native American tribe for information on medicinal herbs and trees used by the Oneida people. All of these spelling of the sacred plants are phoenetic since the Oneida language exists through oral, not written, transmission. View detail. The lower canvas includes pages from an old logarithm table book-- a metaphor for the production of paper--a product of nature and tree--as well as a metaphor to account for the rapid depletion of the world's rainforests.
