This exhibition featured Cannupa Hanska Luger, through the use of ceramic mixed media works artist Cannupa creates socially conscious work while representing his mixed genetic background of Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikata, Lakota, Austrian, and Norwegian. Cannupa embodies the cyclical nature of art and life in his work, in his artist statement he describes this cycle, “There seems to be a harmony between creation and destruction, one defines the other. A block of clay is destroyed to create a sculpture”. He creates art with the understanding that eventually the clay he uses breaks down and is returned to the earth. He emphasizes the representation of life
