About the Item
Just Thinking, Melanie Yazzie pendant Navajo, F*&k Off, cast sterling silver
Melanie A. Yazzie (Navajo-Diné) is a highly regarded multimedia artist known for her printmaking, paintings, sculpture, and jewelry designs. She has exhibited, lectured, and taught throughout the United States, Europe, Mexico, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia.
Her work is in important museum collections worldwide. Glenn Green Galleries, her international representatives, collaborate in creating these jewelry designs that are made in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Figures of animals, insects, and other beings are meant to protect and give strength to the wearer. The winged female figures, called pollinators, are named for her personal Navajo clans, the Salt Water and Bitter Water.
They serve as symbols of empowerment and the possibility of creating good things. Yazzie sees these as her protectors.
In her artwork, she follows the Navajo philosophy of seeking beauty, balance, and harmony.
This design was inspired by a series of drawings she made while working at a Tribal college. She was obligated to give tours to donors who weren't always culturally aware of or sensitive to other cultures. They would sometimes ask rude questions and she would later make drawings as a way to process the experiences. This is meant to be taken with humor and a grain of salt.
Some of her necklaces and pendants are shown on chains, leather cords, and stones, ask the gallery for availability and pricing. These are sold separately.
