Site 5: Fox Anthony Spears Seattle, Washington I Will Go Back and Not Come Out 2012 Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe long ago and have since been adopted by many others, Native and otherwise. Initially, they were meant to be temporary objects that would eventually collapse. The circular shape honored the Sun and the web paid respect to Spider Woman. My installation is meant to reappropriate this symbol and place it in an outdoor setting where it can more directly reflect the references to nature. The repetition within the web design mimics the patterns we are surrounded by every day and the rhythmic cadences by which we measure time. Circles that can be seen as either expanding or contracting, these dreamcatchers are both finite, constructed physical objects, and unending, through the ripples they send out to those who experience them while they exist. Bio: An enrolled member of the Karuk Tribe, Fox was born and raised in the Puget Sound area. He earned a BFA from Cornish College of the Arts and has also studied at Pilchuck Glass School and the Institute of American Indian Arts. His work has been exhibited locally and nationally. In 2009, Fox was selected as the first Emerging College Artist through the Indigenous Contemporary Arts Program with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. He has also received awards and grants from Worldstudio/American Institute of Graphic Arts and a National Native Creative Development Grant from the Evergreen Longhouse. |
