About the Artwork:
The Rising Sun is a tribute to my Blackfeet (Amsskaapi Piikuni) heritage.
The Blackfeet were nomadic, but their movement wasn’t aimless. They traveled with a purpose, knowing where food and resources were plentiful. The teepee (niitoy-yiss) served as shelter because of its ability to fit the nomadic lifestyle of the Blackfeet.
When setting up camp, the Blackfeet pitched their teepee doors towards the eastern sky. Every morning, the Blackfeet would open their doors so that their prayers could travel to the Rising Sun, which would help the sun (natosi) reach above the horizon for another day.
The artwork looks towards the eastern sky as the sun rises over the horizon.
