About the Item
Strength From Within, aluminum, turquoise, Navajo, sculpture, Melanie Yazzie
limited edition of 8 powder coated aluminum
This sculpture is a self-portrait of my state of mind when I am working on fixing things from inside myself. As I am thinking and praying for a better life for me and my family. In 1997, I was hit head-on by a drunk driver, it affected my back and my health a great deal. I had to make many visits to the doctor to focus on getting back to my regular self. This artwork reflects this time and the symbols inside the piece are about gathering your own strength from within.

- Awatovi Visual Prayers, Michael Kabotie Hopi overlay, silver black contemporaryBy Michael Kabotie (Lomawywesa)Located in Santa Fe, NMAwatovi Visual Prayers, II, Hopi overlay, silver, black, contemporary, Kabotie limited edition of 40 The Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona commissioned Michael Kabotie to do a large sculpture/gate for them in 2006. It is done in his signature Hopi overlay style. Kabotie calls it “Visual Prayers” and he describes it as being loosely related to the ancient kiva murals at the Hopi village of Awatovi. His version shows the woven forms of smoke and feathers that the Hopi use to convey prayers that are for the health, long life and blessings for all people. Michael Kabotie was born on September 3, 1942 on the Hopi Indian Reservation in northeastern Arizona. He grew up in the village of Shungopavi and attended school on the reservation until the Hopi high school was closed. He graduated from Haskell Indian School in Lawrence, Kansas in 1961. While in his junior year there he was invited to spend the summer at the Southwest Indian Art Project at the University of Arizona. Participants included Fritz Scholder, Helen Hardin, Charles Loloma and Joe Hererra (who became a lifelong friend and his primary artist mentor). After high school, Michael attended the University of Arizona, studying engineering. After dropping out of college he held a one-man show at the Heard Museum and his work was on the cover of Arizona Highways magazine. In 1967 Michael underwent his Hopi manhood initiation into the Wuwutsim Society and was given his Hopi name, Lomawywesa (Walking in Harmony). Both Michael and his father, Fred Kabotie, have been innovators in the Native American Fine Arts Movement, creating paintings that reflect traditional Hopi life in contemporary media. Fred Kabotie was one of the Hopi art...Category
