Painter and sculptor Dan Namingha, a member of the Hopi-Tewa tribe, creates images of his homeland and the Hopi people that convey an unwavering respect for the earth and his ancestry. In his work, the viewer gets a guarded glimpse of sacred traditions such as kachinas—spirit messengers that represent blessings, ancestors, and cloud people. “Through a process of fragmentation and assembly, I visually condense my subject matter to convey the greatest artistry with minimal elements. I see myself as a kind of bridge between worlds trying to find that centerline of balance,” Namingha says.
