New Jersey - American Abstraction: Dialogue with the Cosmos at Montclair Art Museum

American Abstraction: Dialogue with the Cosmos

Kay WalkingStick, a trustee of the Montclair Art Museum and the first Native American female artist to be included in H.W. Janson's History of Art, will create a sight-specific mural, American Abstraction: Dialogue With the Cosmos, to reflect her Native American heritage. This landscape mural is a captavating ink painting of mountains with colorful parfleche bags suspended from various areas and heights. These bags, created from rawhide, represent the decorative bags Native America women use to transport dried meat and other imperative articles. [ more information ]
