The Bear Girls do not see the color of each other’s skin or limitations that have been placed upon them because of who they are or where they come from. They are in this world together and the possibilities are endless.
While getting my children ready for school we were pulling together pencils, folders, colored pencils, and crayons. The kids began talking about their friends. In the conversation, they were describing the children, “the girl with the yellow hair, the boy with the brown skin,” in a very casually descriptive manner with no malice to the differences. This made me think more about how we see people as we grow older. How we change in our viewpoints and how we judge based on what we see on the surface. We are all the same below, no matter the color, shape, or origin.

Can You Hear Me Now
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 figures are four generations of women: daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother. The base is from a rocking chair that my mother gave to me. In the rocking chair’s arm was the form of a mother and her pregnant belly holding that next generation; that next life and untold story.
The Cigar Figures come from a Native American story of my childhood that my mother told of the “Stick People”. The “Stick People” would run through the night and call your name, she never described the figures and I was drawn to the idea of what they looked like for most of my life. The Cigar Figures are my reimagining of that story, now a story of family and my past. The figures are made of real cigars and found sticks. I create molds of the cigars and then cast them and the sticks in bronze.
