Artist Statement:
Throughout my formal education
I have utilized the visual
arts to support my cultural
and human development. As an
alumnus of the Institute of
American Indian Arts in Santa
Fe NM, I was exposed to
diverse perspectives and
mediums from numerous Native
American tribes. Together,
through the arts, "we"
developed an explicit and
provocative voice, to identify
and address historical &
contemporary issues in Indian
country. As an artist, I have
sought out opportunities
within various Native American
communities, to continue to
expose and motivate the new
generation of Indian artists,
and to enlist their art making
capacity as a tool for
self-determination. Since my
relocation to Chicago, and
struggling for a few years to
find a "voice", I have been
inspired by the urban
environment to create a
thematic body of work entitled
Native American Lowbrow Art.
This illustrates the
assimilation and acculturation
process Native American
artists negotiate with and
through, as we address the
issue of "What makes us
‘Indians’, and why is that
important" in today’s popular
culture and history. Through
the deconstruction and
inclusion of traditional
symbols, economics, identity,
and spirituality, it is my
intent to challenge the
politics of art criticism,
aesthetics and the ...
