In the early part of the 20th century, a Californio by the name of Dona Marta told an interesting story about her grandmother who was a devout Catholic but was an “equally devout adherent of the old religion.“ “Los dos corren juntos“, she quoted her grandmother as saying. “ The two run together. When one fails, the other one helps.“ To convey this thought, I chose images which were found at an ancient Chumash pictograph site. I have united them with a cross motif ; the most familiar symbol of the Christian faith. The rock, water and reflection of a night sky serve as the common denominator… the wondrous natural world that we all share. (Laird, 1995, p.94)
