Skywalker/Skyscraper: Calling Sunrise, 2021
Reclaimed wool blankets, steel I-beam, cedar.
94.75 x 29.75 x 29.75 inches

From the Samuel Pemberton Collection

Marie Watt uses powerful symbolism, text and group activity to create impassioned sculptural works. Her work is timely, synthesizing mythologies and history from her Native American heritage seamlessly interwoven with current international issues.

Watt’s sculptures of stacked woolen blankets invoke their daily domestic use as much as historical pillars like Trajan’s Column, Brancusi’s pedestals, and the great totem poles of the Northwest US.

Watt is an artist and citizen of the Seneca Nation with German-Scots ancestry, which informs her work and process deeply.
