Artwork Title: “My Sister’s Skirt”

Artwork Description: This piece is a ribbon skirt made from headlines and fliers on paper. Red is important as it’s the color spirits see. Ribbon skirts have been a fashion staple for many tribes and have become a very accepted piece of Native fashion throughout Indian Country. There are beaded flowers that I used as a simple of “in memoriam” and because they made me think of little girls and I realized we are missing young and old. Paper, ink, Ribbon beads, in framed shadow box.
