Description

Imagine a wall, a room, filled with colorful, improbable columns?  Are they totems? Are they hard? Are they soft? How is it that they seem to glow?

I am a real fan of Indigenous art from a variety of cultures. Asmat ancestor poles, Tlingit totems, Maori pou whenua, staffs and other sorts of carved poles.  They are created to commemorate lives, to establish authority and invite the dance.  They exist, in many cultures, holding up roofs and standing around like a group of inspirited people.  To Western eyes, they can be foreign and curious, creepy, even.  What I envision is something more sleek and colorful, whose repetitions soothe.

This piece is surprisingly easy to ship and install.  It can be leaned in a corner or hung securely on a wall.  You choose.
