> ARTKACINA

> ARTKACINA was created to celebrate the experiences and achievements of Firstsite. Artkacina draws on Sally’s interests in mythology, community and storytelling. After visiting the gallery, Sally was inspired to create a work that would capture the vitality, energy and spirit of Firstsite’s last eleven years. Sheinman has created 544 artkacina – referencing ‘kachina’; native American dolls traditionally used to teach children about characters from Hopi Indian mythology. The intricately painted hand-held sculptures are accompanied by words which are all inspired by irstsite.Learn More...
