Tribal Spirits encompasses a range of creative expressions, from the spiritual conjuration of Bessie Harvey to traditional Indigenous crafts. Harvey, a notable outsider artist, utilized found natural materials like tree roots and branches to create sculptures that explore African heritage and the healing power of nature. Her work integrates beads and adornments to reveal hidden forms within the wood, reflecting a deep connection to ancestral spirits. The name also represents the collaborative work of Joywind and Robert Todd, who produce handcrafted powwow drums and leatherwork in Quebec. Their practice focuses on old school traditions and spiritual crafts. Additionally, the moniker is associated with vivid digital prints featuring shamanic imagery and spirit animals, drawing on Lakota and Mohawk creation stories to depict themes of protection and ancestral fire.
