Oklahoma City First Americans Museum (FAM) is hosting more than 50 premier First American artists December 3-4, in the second annual Winter Holiday Art Market (WHAM).
Anita Fields works on clay figures.
Over the course of her more than 40 year career, the multi-disciplinary artist from Hominy has infused traditional Osage ribbon work designs worn for cultural dances with the modern and contemporary in her textile and clay work.
For a piece commissioned by the Minneapolis Institute of Arts for the exhibit Hearts of Our People, Fields created an elaborate Osage wedding coat called It s in our DNA It s who we are , which featured Osage language on the inside of the coat as well and a DNA pattern woven onto the ribbon work.
Fields said she was inspired by the Osage women in her life, including her grandmother.
