| Burro with Crosses - "This was on a trip south [in Mexico]. Mary Elmendorf took us, and she was pointing out a lot of Christian symbolism that was mixed with the Indian symbolism. The Indian symbolism always had seven crosses, and their crosses are a different shape. See, you really couldn't crucify somebody on that... But there was a lonely sort of desolation, and such an earthy feeling that the little burro appealed to me. Just a connection again." |
