11.2.19 Native American Art Training Questions JAY

From the Saturday training, there was a question on the symbolism of the head profiled in the center medallion of Carla Hemlock’s “Boomin’ Out.” Here is the answer from Jill, who asked Carla directly, “For Carla’s work from Carla : No Buffalo head! The three feathers atop the head is in acknowledgment of the Kanienkehaka People. The People of the Flint. What is now commonly known now as the Mohawks.”

Some queries also came for the words on Jeffrey Gibson’s punching bag:

Each Time You Love
Love as deeply as
If it were forever
Nothing is eternal
