Description

Winter Spirits (1997). In a picture by the marvelous artist Maria Buchfink, a cloud of kachinas and totem spirits rises from the flute of a Native American flute player. Winter Spirits was inspired by this flute player, and it is indeed influenced by Native American music. The idea of the flute invoking beneficial spirits, be they kachinas or any others, is a very natural one. Such spirits are an accepted and valued part of life in most of the world, and the flute has been used to honor and incite their presence for countless ages.
