Abstract

Artist Mikayla Patton, a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation, has been awarded a Joan Mitchell Fellowship, joining a prestigious group of American artists. The fellowship comes with an unrestricted $20,000 payment, which Patton plans to use to pay off her car. The Joan Mitchell Foundation was established to support individual artists, and the fellowship is one of the most prestigious awards available to American artists. Patton creates sculptural objects using Lakota knowledge and earth elements, with a focus on themes of healing and renewal. She incorporates handmade paper into her work, a practice she developed while studying printmaking. Patton's work reflects her cultural heritage and the responsibility she feels to carry on the teachings of her elders. [Extracted from the article]
