The Museum at Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College will open the exhibit “Spirit Lines: Helen Hardin Etchings” on Wednesday, April 4, with a free reception from 5-7 p.m.
“Having emerged from the 1970s and ’80s as a significant contemporary artist, Helen Hardin, who signed her work in her Tewa name, Tsa-sah-wee-eh, paved the way for other Native woman artists breaking out of Indian traditionalism,” Julie Tapley-Booth, of the center, said in a news release.
The exhibit features 23 copper plate etchings spanning Hardin’s work from 1980-1984, translating her mixed ethnicities’ traditional symbology while using modern techniques and interpretation.
The Center of Southwest Studies will display this exhibit through 2018.
