Repair and Design Futures

October 5, 2018 - June 30, 2019

In their making and maintenance, these works manifest repair and healing. They honor new life and community while providing physical and spiritual protection. The Crow moccasins mix precontact porcupine-quillwork techniques with designs made from glass beads acquired through European traders. A lifetime of heavy use is evident in the replacement sole, cut from a hide parfleche carrying case.
