Mixed Media
Welch, MN
October 2022, three weeks
Cole Redhorse Jacobson did research and created artworks that spoke to the complex and tumultuous relationship Dakota people had with the US government during their removal period in 1862; how it lead to their survival, resiliency, and strength; and how it becomes deeply entwined with the issues we face now. As a mixed media artist, Cole often combines different art forms to tell a story without using a written language. For this project, he utilized textiles (i.e. wool, silk ribbons, muslin), as well as painting to elaborate on telling a story of his ancestors.
