The figures in
TRIBE were created by slowly rubbing away oil pastels with
cloth. TRIBE is composed of 19 figures, and this number is important for
understanding the work. Add 1 and 9 to make 10, and think of 1 and 0 as
numbers representing wholeness, completeness; in other words, numbers that
symbolize perfection. TRIBE imagines a perfect circle of people, 19 people
that will meet during their lifetimes and reflect for eachother the varied
archetypes of human character, archetypes such as the healer, the warrior,
the mother, the hunter, etc... As we interact with these 18 other people of
our TRIBE, we integrate these archetypes into a fulfilling understanding of
who we are.
