These three sculptures are located outside the Scottsdale Museum of the West. The one above is called Indian Mother and Child by artist Harry Jackson.
To the left is a carved stone sculpture called Wing to Wing by Kirk Tatom. The artist is from Santa Fe and is known for his abstract avian forms.
This last one is by Melanie A. Yazzie. I actually saw an exhibit of her work in Santa Fe New Mexico several years ago. This sculpture is called Pollen Keeper II. She has this quote to describe her work:
"Pollen Keeper II is a self-portrait of my state of mind when I am thinking about those who carry our people's history and stories. They are the pollen keepers, the ones who make us live into the future, the wisdom keepers so to speak."
I'm with the pollen keeper.
ReplyDeleteI like the art outside there.
ReplyDeleteI like the wing to wing best, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteDeeper understanding of the place and people can be found in the art

ReplyDeleteThese really stand out.
ReplyDeleteThat first piece is extremely moving.
