Miranda Belarde-Lewis (Zuni/Tlingit)

Series Title: Sunface Snapshots

These six 'portraits' are tiny tributes.

Yaddokya Datchu' -The Sun Father-
gives life to us all and I,
as most,
am thankful for this gift.
I imagine these are poses he might strike
if his Pueblo spirit were ever to be photographed.

"Solar Power" is an adaptation and reinterpretation of Japanese graphic designer, Takashi Murakami's work using the Sun Father as the central figure.

Miranda creates works in 2D, 3D and words. She will start a graduate program in the fall of '05 to become a professional museum nerd.
