Spider Woman's Hands is an ongoing exploration of the Native American myth of Spider Woman, the great weaver who spins the world into being with what she imagines. Also called "Thought Woman" (Tse Che Nako), the story has many contemporary meanings, because it is a unitive, quontum vision of the world - a way of seeing "with a webbed vision". In 2007 Lauren Raine received an Aldon Dow Creativity Fellowship to "weave the web" with the community of Midland, Michigan, and in 2008 the project was continued at the Creative Spirit Center, also in Midland. In 2009 the project will be further explored through a residency at the Wesley Theological Seminary.

laurenraine  Tucson, Arizona
I've been a visionary artist for over 30 years, specializing in community art projects, sacred masks, and visionary arts. I also teach the Art of the Mask. In 2007 I had a fellowship at the Alden Dow Creativity Center to pursue my community arts project "The Hands of the Spider Woman", based upon the Native American legend; in 2009 I will be continuing the project at the Henry Luce Center at Wesley Theological University. May we all become "Beautiful Weavers".
