WalkingStick’s practice in recent years has predominantly focused on single viewpoint landscapes of non-industrial America. In the works on paper, WalkingStick reclaims the land by overlaying the sites with designs of the Native American people who have inhabited the area or live there now. Sublime vistas are rendered in charcoal with bands of traditional Native American patterning dancing on the surface, as if protecting them. The delicate presence of the brightly colored designs transform the panoramic vistas into actively spiritual sites that remain meaningful to many. The power and eternal quality of nature is felt in the monumental mountains, canyons, cliffs and vast skies. The landscapes reflect a balance between memory and lived experience, subtly evoking her personal history.
