Here two faint images of white animal masks—bones?—emerge from a black background interspersed with white stars, suggesting the presence of a barely visible flag. This version of the flag is liable to disappear before your eyes. It is a residue, a fading mark. Slick, an enrolled member of the Meskwaki nation of Iowa, asks viewers to consider what happens in the liminal space between night and morning. His work grapples with the spiritual dimensions of Indigenous symbolism.
