America, America (Who were the mound builders?)
(click for full image)
1995, 48 x 60 inches, acrylic on canvas with painted edges, Suwanee, Georgia studio.
While attending a Pow Wow in Georgia, I was able to speak with some of the participating Native Americans, and two of them let me take photos of them specifically for this painting. Their tribe was amongst those who have a history of building burial mounds. These large mounds were built in the Southeast throughout several cultural periods. Massive geometric earthworks apparently defined locations of major regional trade festivals and religious gatherings. This piece is both a tribute to and showing support for Native American culture.
