As a young child, I found it hard to communicate through language and turned easily to expressing myself through art insteade. This way of communicating became my life. I took to sculpting the human figure because it showed the most direct way of expressing my human emotions. These emotions became my language and I soon found out that it was a language that was universal. It has been a very uplifting feeling that people from anywhere in the world can look at my work and understand it.
Through my scupture, I tell about my experiences as a Native American, as a woman, as a mother, wife, girlfriend, as an artist, as a human being in today's society. I tell about life through the human figure expressing emotion. It is my story, but its also everyone's story.
I believe that when we reach each other with our emotions, we feel less alone and more understood...thus loved.
You clay people
who dance through
my soul
dance right on through
me.
My eyes
look upon you
out there
I know you
in here. Like
children
out in the world
I send you
and
hope
you find love
out there.
I sculpt to
reach out to you.
Hoping to go
past the words
and thoughts
that bring
us to a shallow world.
Hoping to catch
a moment
of direct connection
between your
soul
and mine.
Then, for that scond,
we will remember
what is important.
In remembering
there is Hope.
