Whitehorse’s marks are meant to signify nature that is either very close, or very far away, according to the viewer’s attention.

Description

Navajo artist Emmie Whitehorse creates works teaming with symbols and indigenous iconography, which she draws in an intuitive manner hearkening back to the Surrealists. For Untitled, she drew on a lithographic matrix with intuitive scratches and broad gestures suggesting landscape, figures, and an overall harmony of humanity and nature.
A vertically oriented print suggests a figure, overhang, and plant life with scratching strokes in all directions. In the lower right corner, a humanlike silhouette raises their arms, streaks of dark gray, maroon, and yellow ink forming a rectangular overhang above the figure. A red and black semicircle are outlined to the left and, in the upper left corner, a line branches out into red and black streaks, suggesting a flower.
