Standing Rock
“Best In Show”
“Standing Rock” was inspired by the plight of the Lakota tribe protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, Summer 2016. At that time, the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) was rerouted near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation after a proposed route near the state capital Bismarck was denied as being deemed too risky for Bismarck's water supplies. The tribe opposed the pipeline to be constructed under Lake Oahe and the Missouri River. This sculpture received “Best in Show” at the Harrisburg Art Association in the 90th Annual International Juried Show 2018.
Artist Statement
Imagination has no limits. I love to take
the viewer on a journey into everyday life
or into the national spotlight with every
piece I create.
Love, loss, joy, and inner strength; these
are the common threads my work draws
from. It is my hope that each figure will
share that message to the world.
