Satahseht/ Hide Yourself, discusses how the artist endeavors to connect with the pain of loss and insecurity, and the inherent vulnerability of life and death for the next generation of Indigenous women. And how they physically are part of the inevitable social pressures moving disintegration and impermanence.

Kiertzner. Thatesatotat Be Quiet. 43X46X3 inches.jpeg

Thatesato:tat/ Be Quiet, embodies feelings about how women may exist in a sense of place and purpose. How one might abstractly show how imperfections, physical trauma and resiliency may transform. The color palette is grounded in memories relating to quilt made by the artist’s Indigenous Great-Grandmother.
