Journaling:
We were glad we took time to study the panel. There was so much to take in even though we had been there before. Remember how people stopped, snapped a few photos and stayed for ten minutes.
Artist Statement:
First of all, I would like to say this page was a response to a PM request or I wouldn't be brave to post it here at all. When most people think of Kokopelli, they think of the stylized, sanitized version brought to popular marketing campaigns in Sedona, Santa Fe and Moab in the 1980s. All of the ones eight hundred years ago were very similar to this one. Kokopelli is the flute player, but young girls were afraid of him because he was the fertility god who brought babies. There were several on the wall at Sand Island.
