Exhibition Label: "American Indian Art at the Spencer Museum," 6-Sep-2003 to 19-Oct-2003, Andrea Norris Hachivi Edgar Heap of Birds graduated from the University of Kansas and teaches art and Native American studies at the University of Oklahoma. His best known work is characterized by its political content and imaginative and challenging use of words, but since the mid-1990s he has painted abstractions similar to this print, which he says are inspired by the cedar trees of the canyon lands of western Oklahoma and the multicolored fish of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. He says “the water-world has merged with the pastoral tree forms to create a pulse of color on shapes that grow, overlap and swim through the picture plane.” He says “their positive notion of movement and change … always holds hope.”
