Piece description from the artist
This photo is part of a series titled 'Humus', where I gathered offerings from the foot hills of the Rockies in Santa Fe, NM. In a our modern day times we often forget it all comes form the earth in some form, connecting to the source of these offerings the pine pitch has many uses from sealing and healing wounds, to chewing on it for anti-inflammatory in the joints, rheumatism, also used as glue, varnish, oil of turpentine. The natives used it to seal their shoes to keep them waterproof on the soles of the moccasins.
