Thesis Study

An introduction back into painting after a brief hiatus, this still life challenged my ability to render various different forms and textures while playing with composition. utilizing items present within my own ceremonial bundle (i.e.; sage, sweet grass, skulls, turtle shells, animal hides and pelts) I incorporate these objects amongst one another to create a personally authentic depiction of Indigenous life while appropriating the visual aesthetic of European art history
