Manhattan's Chrysler Building has captivated artists since it opened in 1930 with its distinctive Art Deco crown and spire. Although the building is stark grey steel, I have shifted the colors warmer to reflect the setting sun. The crown's sunburst design radiates, and guarding the corners are a series of stainless steel eagles suggestive of the Chrysler radiator cap and later hood ornament. It is as if the Native American association of the eagle as a messenger of the sun somehow survived into the Age of Steel... indirectly, a tribute to generations of Native American high-steel workers.

“I create convergent media art that celebrates the values of rural life and of the land itself, that fosters a sense of self-empowerment, self-love, self-representation, community, and the strengths of traditional cultures. My work explores the relationship between both high and low technology cultures, ethnic and class identities, shamanic tourism, and an expanding sense of the natural and supernatural worlds. As a verbal and visual storyteller, I strive to commit my rich and varied life experiences to canvas and paper, sharing the ceremonial life of indigenous communities in both normal and visionary time, and exploring concepts of strength and vulnerability through treatments of my royal, noble, and humble ancestors. What starts out as contemplation becomes, I hope, a portal for the viewer to briefly enter another reality, leaving only a sense of a picture album of the road not taken and a eulogy for the self-imposed limits of our existence.” Books "ESCAPE From the Darkroom! - Old-School Principles Applied to Modern Digital Photography" [2013] https://amazon.com/dp/1484840011/ “GeoHypnotics: A Gentle Way to Access Deeper Consciousness” [2016] Four volumes https://www.amazon.com/dp/1530632501/ ; https://www.amazon.com/dp/1530640121/; https://www.amazon.com/dp/1530644690/ ; https://www.amazon.com/dp/1530786126/ https://amazon.com/author/brianwilkes
