Textile artwork to the right Douglas Miles San Carlos Apache Nation, Akimel O’odham Nation The Blessing, 2018, 2019 Ink on plush fleece fabric “The Blessing” is a series of oversized blankets, with photos of contemporary Arizona life printed on them, featuring the artist’s family, neighbors, and friends. Blankets to many (Native) people are given as gifts, at weddings, at births, even in death. They’re handed down generation to generation as heirlooms. They represent protection, love and blessing. They literally and metaphorically, they keep us warm, comforted and blessed. They have modern icons like Tupac, Elvis, Marilyn, and Bob Marley. I love the idea of homage behind the pictorial blanket.

- Chris Cornelius Oneida – Radio Free Alcatraz: An Architectural Speculation (The occupation of Alcatraz Island by American Indians gave birth to a new kind of activism.
