Adrain Chesser writes: Since 2006 I have been working on a project titled “The Return.” It is a portrait of a people, a place, and an ideal. The work is about a group of people who are living nomadically. They travel with the seasons on what was referred to by first nations people as the “hoop.” Their ideal is to live wild and free, untethered from society, to thrive by utilizing traditional hunter/gatherer skills. Their greatest desire is to have a symbiotic relationship with the earth – “the Mother” – to live a life in balance, to give back more than they take. They are my friends, lovers, and my extended family. We traveled throughout Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Northern California. We took refuge in old shacks; we dug roots planted hundreds of years ago by Native American grandmothers; we gorged ourselves on the bounty of abandoned orchards. “The Return” is a collaboration with the Native American Ritualist Timothy White Eagle. Our collaborative process involved a considerable amount of prayer, consideration, and discussion about the spiritual nature of the way in which these people live, the spiritual nature of the way art works, and the ways in which archetypal energies work within mythic story telling.
