Biography -
I am from Red Shirt Table, located on the far northwest of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. My goal is to create work starting from scratch. I work with organic material, i.e., wood, clay, animal hide, parfleche, sinew, etc. I strive to give each art piece it’s own personal flair, with a one-of-a-kind look. Each piece of work is hand-painted with designs that reflect my Lakota culture.
Artist Statement -
This show represents cells, the basic function of life from all living species. From trees, plants, flowers, humans, animals, insects. Like a big sandwich cake of layered cells. My paintings of ladies are named after real people. I “borrowed” the names from the 1880 Indian census. The names belonged to my people who were named in our native language. I copied the names exactly spelled by *bi-lingual census takers* and translated to English. Somehow, the names live on in art. Real people. Real Names.
