Reseña del libro "Following my Spirit Home: A Collection of Paintings and Stories (en Inglés)"

A trip to Alaska and an epiphany at Mendenhall Glacier led artist Sam Zimmerman / Zhaawanoogiizhik to return home to family and hisOjibwe culture, a journey captured in paintings and stories. When Sam Zimmerman decided to rededicate his energy and focus to painting in the late 2010s, he found himself drawn to the stories of his family and Ojibwe community. He wanted to capture these stories in images as well as words, and he began working with an Ojibwemowin language speaker to translate and preserve them in their native language as well. The paintings and stories he accumulated and developed between July 2019 and July 2020 are drawn from family lore and shared experiences centered in Ojibwe tradition and the natural beauty of northern Minnesota. Zimmerman's work explores his Ojibwe heritage by preserving oral histories handed down from elders while also reflecting the artist's personal experiences and learnings in nature by incorporating the landscapes of Lake Superior's North Shore, where he and generations of his ancestors have lived. His work features Northland creatures such as moose, loons, wolves, and fish as well as the night sky and native flora. Zimmerman preserves the Ojibwe storytelling tradition, reimagining the symbolism of the clan animals in natural North Shore landscapes. His work is infused with the color theories of the abstract and expressionism movements while also promoting environmental stewardship. Following My Spirit Home features more than 80 vibrant and colorful images accompanied by traditional Ojibwe stories, mostly based on tales Zimmerman's grandfather told him or that he learned around the fire each summer at Grand Portage. The stories are presented in both English and Ojibwemowin with the goal of advancing language revitalization.
