CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW

2015-16, 30” x 41”x 7”, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina

Can you hear me; can you see me? I will no longer stand to the side. I shout out to the winds and the world letting my voice be heard. As the girl shouts out the birds scatter in surprise but the crow remains beside her, the crow a shapeshifter, and the messenger foretold that her voice would be heard. I find that there are more times than not that as a female and a Native American to be heard one has to use a strong voice from deep inside. The reaction that follows is both of surprise and intrigue.

The Cigar Figures come from a Native American story of my childhood that my mother told of the “Stick People”. These Stick People were figures that would run through night and call your name, if you were to go with them you were never hear from again. The Cigar Figures are my re-interpretation of that story. The story of family and our past, when light falls on the figures the shadow cast on the wall represents for me memory. Like a shadow these memories cannot be held, in the end we are only a shadow in history shadows on this earth.

The figures are made of real cigars and found sticks. I then cast them in bronze.
