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.
Print suggesting a figure, overhang, and plant life with scratching strokes in all directions. In the lower right corner, a human-like silhouette raises their arms, streaks of dark grey, 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.
