river of stone

stone to find home

stone for resting

stone to remember

*sticks to make rustic latilla fences 

‘to so enter into it in nature and art

that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living

is the attitude of artistic appreciation.’

*In New Mexico, you’ll find charming fences made of small branches called ‘latillas’ made primarily from native cedar or juniper poles. These rustic fences have a rich history, passed down through generations of indigenous and Hispanic communities.Originally built to keep out wildlife like coyotes, they’ve become a beloved part of the Southwestern landscape, especially in Santa Fe-style architecture.
