Marcus Amerman Art

Native American, b. 1959
Marcus Amerman is a Choctaw bead artist, painter, fashion designer, and performance artist. He was born in 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona. At the age of ten, his aunt taught him the techniques of Native American beadwork and he is now renown for his highly realistic beadwork portraits. Amerman has portrayed many historical heroes in his beadwork, such Chief Joseph, pop icons such as Janet Jackson, and imagery inspired by comic superheroes. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. He also studied the Institute of American Indian Arts and the Anthropology Film Center. Amerman's work is in the collections of the George Gustav Heye Center, the National Museum of the American Indian, the American Museum of Natural History, the Heard Museum, the Portland Art Museum, the Sequoyah National Research Center, and the Museum of Arts and Design.

Half-Life

Artist Mark Knoerzer is best known for his abstract paintings, light installations and hand painted wooden sculptures.

Large Animal Wall Sculpture: 'Wormhole'
By Gin Stone
Located in New York, NY
'I am a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on ecofeminism using fiber and mixed media constructions. My materials include hand-dyed commercially fished line and ghost gear, recycled and antique textiles, fabric printed with cyanotype emulsions and found objects. I change the existing surface of recognizable animals by creating a veneer of unexpected color and imagery. This forces the viewer to consider the shape more carefully by visually exploring its new topography. The creation process can be likened to painting with fiber (that has been tinted with hand-mixed dyes) on a three-dimensional canvas. Intense work is spent creating the eyes and ears to convey the emotion of each animal. I look to the work of Joan Mitchell and The Quilters of Gee’s Bend as inspiration for pattern and color, as well as charts, iconography, and satellite imaging.' -Gin Stone...

Shopping Cart: 'The Great Resignation Baggage Cart, Emotional Baggage Cart'
By Theda Sandiford
Located in New York, NY
'My Emotional Baggage Carts are vessels to dispose of racial trauma. The act of making, weaves the sting of macro and microaggressions into the cart, freeing me from these constraints. Each recovered shopping cart is unique, but they all are woven with upcycled materials like rope, paracord, grocery bags, rope lights, beads, fabric, and bottle caps. The cart is with a protective zip tie blanket to trap trauma and prevent its escape. For me, my Emotional Baggage Carts are a release, for you, they are an opportunity to look within and recognize any emotional baggage you, yourself may be carrying and release it.' Theda Sandiford...
