“Tree. I wanted a tree. And got a Wild Woman Tree.”

G. Bezanov on the beginning of “La Ava sharing her ribs with Adam”

 

 

 

 

“La Ava sharing her ribs with Adam” enters the world as a small butterfly, still present at her breast, which grows into a tree, which animates its branches into dancing articulations. From her breast, belly, and womb bleeding sap, and through her shamanic mask, she opens a gift  of many worlds and visions for “her Adam”.

Wishing him to dream of stars.

 

This project, a mural located in situ, contains two word plays:

 

Similar sounding to “Eva” (Eve, in Italian), the Wild Woman is “La Ava”:  The female ancestor. The emphasis is underlined by insisting there be no apostrophie between the article and the noun.

 

Using the name “Adam” within the drawing is intended to reflect the collective meaning “mankind”.

 

 

 

 

Adam meaning

The name Adam is obviously a touch complicated. Most directly, it means Acre Man, but since the word for acre is distilled from the action of producing agricultural crops, the name Adam really means Produce (as noun). But that root that covers the action of producing is also the same as the root that covers redness. That means that Adam is also Red Man. Since red is the color of blood (2 Kings 3:22) and also since the name Adam is the word דם (dom), meaning blood, with an aleph in front of it, and alephs sometimes appear in front of words without essentially altering the meaning, Adam also means Blood Man. And since blood is the seat of the breath (or life), Adam is also Life Man.

All in all, the name Adam is probably best interpreted as Living Creature or rather the corporeal part of a living creature. The name Adam simply means Corporeal One or Dustling; prior to receiving breath, Adam was quite literally a corpse (Genesis 2:7)
