Abstract

Hollis Chitto, a Mississippi Choctaw and Laguna/Isleta Pueblos artist, showcases his skill as a beadwork artist in his display at the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market. His contemporary beaded bandolier bag, titled "Napakanli um okla imma (Flowers for my family)," is a tribute to his family and the culture they passed down to him. Chitto's work incorporates his own ideas into the traditional medium, and he draws inspiration from other artists, such as Alexander Calder. As a Two-Spirit individual, Chitto sees the act of creating art as a spiritual act and aims to bring beauty into the world. [Extracted from the article]
