Tushdenghazhq'uch' is made of beadwork with size 11 & 13 seed beads, bugle & glass accent beads, ribbon, tanned moose hide, tiger's eye, lapis lazuli, kyanite, and pearls. Tushdenghazhq'uch' means "I have been shaped by the water" in Dena'ina. This phrase comes from an old sukdu (story) from the perspective of a rock and how it was formed and existed in this world. In Dena'ina beliefs, stories hold medicine, and remembrance of stories supports our health and well-being. The Tushdenghazhq'uch' dreamcatcher represents a mountainscape across the channel in Arnoya where I spent a shared artist residency. It was a magical scene to observe daily, as it was constantly changing with the sky. The waterfall from the glacial runoff could be heard from a great distance and the height of the mountains dwarfed us below. As magnificent as the mountains were, I could not help but think about how the water has shaped the abstract lines of the glaciers, creeks, waterfall, and lakes. denainadreams.com
