On a Limb

ON A LIMB

2011, 14″ x 9. 5″ x 19″, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina, and Sterling Silver

In “On a Limb” the girl balances on the branch watching, reaching for the bird that has landed on the tip of a small branch to watch her. The bird is a silver bird, which I refer to as a “Birdens”. While goals, objects, situations, and people may be a burden at times, they are important and precious to each of us, thus we care for them, and for this reason I cast the birds in the precious metal sterling silver.

MASKED

2012, 22.5” x 3.5” x 4”, Unique Cast Bronze with Patina, and African Mahogany

Masks are layered with meaning from creatures in nature to a child’s imagined world. As children, we make and wear masks to be anything we want or need to be and we could do anything in them, from being a superhero to a bird in flight. As adults, the layers and meaning deepen and grow and these masks are a way to represent the different personas that we need or desire to be in life. They become an identity that one can live through or hide behind in our roles – I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, an aunt, a wife, a mother, artist, and Indian.

“Come See” & “Just A Little” the girl and boy figure are fitted to the geode when they are still in wax; they are not glued or attached to the geode, they are keyed to the rock that they belongs. I see the figure like my people that we were placed and fitted in our beginning making each of us a key to the land we belong.
