The PRECIOUS Series 2019
Picture
Life is so very precious. I was reminded yet again when I returned to a favorite campsite in Oregon where tall Ponderosa pines grow that have gifted me thousands of their needles to weave baskets with over the years. This year, I noticed many of trees have been effected by the pine beetle and fires.  Still tall, ancient  and majestic, many  now  had lots of brown dying needles, and some... stood  charred with death. I often found myself weeping as I took my morning needle gathering walks, realizing how precious each needle I reverently held in my hands truly was. Hence the PRECIOUS SERIES began to come through with my prayers for the trees and the weaving of 'MOTHER PINE'.
As the MOTHER PINE Medicine Basket was coming to completion, the fires in the Amazon broke out... and through me came 'AMAZON BURNING'...and then 'WOMAN',....and 'DREAMING INTO BEING'.....and 'STORM ON THE MESA'.... and finally.....'SNAKE HELPIN SPIRIT BOWL'.
Life is precious.

The SPIRAL Series 2017
Picture
The SPIRAL Series 2017
The Spiral series was a deep dive and immersion. An entire season of devotion to my Spirit, nature, solitude, healing, and basket weaving.

​​I intentionally cultivated a reciprocal relationship with the elements of wild nature in daily practice while camped on a   hidden creek that became a nourishing companion and friend.
It wasn’t a matter of imagining or envisioning the baskets and then creating them. As the artist, I found that the materials I gathered, worked together through me, and the baskets  emerged, wowing even me.

They are  the result of my intimacy with the nature I was living in, the depth of intimacy with myself,  my spirit and the creek.  
No coincidence that each of these have a spiral.

Contributing factors being my study, healing and work with holographic kinetics, the holographic and fractal nature of life itself, transmuting and understanding trauma. Turning it into beauty. Into medicine.
That beauty and medicine came through these baskets and I offer them to you.

JOHN MAHKEWA , TEWA HOPI ARTIST AND ELDER
 FRANCESCA OLDANI
COLLABORATIONS 2019
Picture
Back in 2017, a mutual friend introduced John Mahkewa, a Tewa Hopi Artist and Elder, and I, via email. 
She wrote; “I wanted to introduce you because you both have such a special gift in common- you have come back to us from death. You were also both on deep spiritual journeys before and after. I hope you can talk by phone and someday you can meet in person. If I am not there, I look forward to hearing all about it. Please let me know if I can support your meeting in any way.”  
It took us 2 years, as John lives in Yuma AZ and I….well….have been driving all over the map, but we committed to meeting and have finally come to be in the same place….camped under a tree in Sebastopol.  
It feels a bit like we’ve taken up where we left off from another lifetime.
We’ve been collaborating making drums and rattles.
They’ll be posted for sale soon! 
With deep appreciation and love to our dear friend who has since passed, for her foresight and introduction.
We honor and dedicate the fruits of our meeting to her.
