<strong>Found in Layers&nbsp;</strong><div>The title is in reference to the colors found in the earths crust, yellow, orange, red, and brown. The colors are also colors we, the Hidatsa's used regularly. I like the exploration, digging, revealing aspect of the title,&nbsp;<em>Found in Layers.</em> As if the work has new reveals - even if subtly. This piece is also reminiscent of a Hidatsa parfleche design - as if this work was cut right out of a parfleche bag. And, the Buffalo hide pieces are formal shapes to be used as design elements - something the Hidatsa's also did.</div><div><br /></div><div>- Teresa Baker&nbsp;</div>
