A friend lent me a powerful book, Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq. I read it in that dimension of unusual introspection unencumbered by social performance anxieties that was the spring of 2020 for me, and it stuck with me deeply.
It is impossible for me to summarise it, but one of its strongest aspects is our connection and immersion in another world, which most of the time we do not see or perceive because we have been unaccustomed to it for so long.
As the book states, we ignore the spiritual world in which we are immersed. Like radio waves, we cannot see it, although it is everywhere. With our bodies imprisoned in matter, we have forgotten how to see. However, this knowledge can be conveyed by an animal.
A few months later, while working on a film set on Lake Orta, I met a person with whom I immediately connected. She saw a picture of the painting and told me that through a series of unbelievable coincidences, it seemed to be made for her sister.
The Raven Queen Unfinished – because in my opinion it was unfinished – flew over the ocean and is now at her sister’s in New York.
