How(?)
18" x 30"
Sold Out
This print titled "How(?)" is based on the legend and reality of the Native American history.
the silhouette shows a Native American on a wild stallion, spear in hand and feather adorned. In the Background floats a large hand in a position of many meanings. I chose the hand to symbolize greeting, truth (as in justice), vulnerability, and in a sense peace and naiveté. In the hand holds a hazy image of an elderly Native American woman smoking tobacco or something of the like. The entire print is meant to showcase the duality of how we perceive the "Indian" legacy is in our minds. One sense is that of a bountiful culture that both harnessed and revered their land and their animals. On the other hand we also see them as a society we've conquered and shoved aside like a child's toy three weeks after Christmas - spent and ragged.
