Over Flow (#1392)

A Native American artist of Navajo heritage, Emmi Whitehorse's water inspired painting suggests harmony in nature and humanity that relates to Navajo cosmology. She notes, "My paintings tell the story of knowing land over time - of being completely , microcosmically within a place... They are purposefully meditative and mean to be seen slowly." Richly layered marks pulse with energy while the surface appears dense and ethereal. "These images float in and out of awareness," Whitehorse explains. "I hope one notices the paintings reflect these sensory impressions of long days passed amid the land's vastness - days spent noticing the subtle fluctuations of light, the perpetual changes in color and the fleeting shift of elements from prominence one moment to obscurity the next."
