Roxanne's "Babies"

 


I was at the Heard Museum over the last weekend and spent some time in the museum gift shop. That's where I saw this sculpture created by Roxanne Swentzell, an artist I've admired for several years.  I've featured her work before, most recently here .  

She created this piece as a tribute to the Santa Fe Indian Market.  The description card shown in the photo states:

"I sold at the Santa Fe Indian Market for 18 years.  This piece is a dedication to this great event.  'Making Babies for Indian Market' is about the creative process. My pieces are like children that are born through me.  It's about all the 'babies of artwork' born because of Indian Market."
