AMERICAN UNDERLAND, by Daniel Duford
The motifs filling these new works are the Janus head, coyotes and processions. Janus is the Roman god of doorways, of ending and beginnings. The double faced god presided over city gates marking times of war and peace. Old Man Coyote too has many faces. He is the Changeable One. Coyote the deity created death, the stars and lots of chaos. His stories are bawdy, absurd and alive with the electricity of a living landscape. Coyote the animal has a complicated relationship to the United States’s history of Puritanical programs of extermination and persistent resilience. The procession is an image I’ve long been interested in. From Goya’s penitents to Courbet’s A Burial at Ornans, the procession can be solemn, grotesque, mocking or an exuberant carnival. Given the flowing energy of protest movements in the past several years, I see the image of the procession as an image of collective soul. I am more interested in the chthonic energies rumbling beneath the ground and lava flows animating the collective unconscious of the nation.
