I used a fabric I designed that was created using a pattern of turtles and then screen printed onto fabric using a process called burnout, a process which destroys parts of the fibers to create the pattern. The destroyed fibers are burned out and don’t absorb all of the dye; this creates a resist effect. I then dyed the fabric in an indigo vat. I consulted with a friend who practices Voodoo from his upbringing in Haiti, and he told me that the energy of Papa Legba was present in the painting. He serves as an intermediary between humans and the Spirit World and stands at the Crossroads.
