My artwork of Zitkála-Šá is featured on the "legendary" March issue of @growlermag (out now). That piece is also currently on view until the end of February at the @macrostieart center during my solo show!
.
Zitkála-Šá was a Yanktonai Dakota translator, writer, musician, teacher, and activist who made it her mission to resist white assimilation and preserve indigenous culture. If you haven't heard about her, I suggest looking her up. My artist interview is linked in my bio if you wanna learn more.

"The Sound of Flowers Dying" | animated video, 2

"The Sound of Flowers Dying" | animated video, 2020
.
Features the music and poetry of Dakota poet John Trudell from his 1983 album "Tribal Voice" ("Look at Us"). Full video linked in bio, currently on view at @macrostieart center
.
I wanted to create a memorial piece that shares Trudell's words with a wider audience
.
I have heard different stories of the meaning of butterflies in L/Dakota cultures: how they carry stories on their wings of the places they've been, how they represent departed spirits and new life, how they encircle what is precious. So those are the meanings of the butterfly in this animation, as they escape Iŋktómi the spider's tricks with the help of Aŋpétu Wí, the L/Dakota sun spirit. The glitch effects represent the way humans are corrupted from the natural ways, as Aŋpétu Wí tries to illuminate the ways for us to find balance again
