“I give thanks every day that I have been able to take my crazy and make it work for me.”
-Fritz Scholder
Most days I'm just happy that the "schwein-hund" (pig-dog) hasn't commandeered my inner team of rivals and run amok in the desperate and furious charge through the mundane. Once ina while, however, I can harness the irrational in a manner that sublimely reveals a pathway to beauty. I'm very thankful for these moments, knowing that they are the result of a lot of hard work.
It's time that contemporary Native American art be included in the national and international conversation of Modern Art. I've never felt uncomfortable being a Native artist - it's my perspective that sets me apart.
