Quillwork

Quillwork 1984 catalogue

”The art and craftwork of the Indian people is that of the land we live on. It is alive, districtive, and real, indicative of the people. The arts and crafts were founded on a spiritual culture as enduring as the earth. Before contact, Indian art was dedicated to the decoration of useful objects. Much of it was made in connection with spiritual ceremonies which permeated every act of living. Indian people have no word for art. Art is part of life, like hunting, fishing, growing food, marrying and having children. This is art in its broadest seapnse.” - Exert from “Quillwork”
