It is very exciting to have Edgar Heap of Birds’ work on view now in the Kansas Focus Gallery – what could be a more appropriate location for this work than a gallery that is itself named for the land that we’re situated in.
The works in Kansas Focus Gallery do not always relate specifically to the Kansas landscape or anything thematically associated with Kansas, rather the artist have an association with Kansas in some way (they were born, raised, went to school or lived in Kansas at some point).
In this case however, the exhibition currently on view in that space is drawing our attention to our relationship with the landscape itself, with the environment and peoples who have existed in this place and continue to do so. Learn more about Edgar Heap of Birds’ Native Host sign series:
