About the Book
The Art of Faye Heavyshield which presents work that spans 40 year's of the artist's practice, is the first major publicly disseminated resource dedicated to Faye Heavyshield's work. The hard cover publication examines Heavyshield's process-driven practice and features over 60 images of both the artist's work and the land she responds to. Included are essays by Curator, Felicia Gay, Sherry Farrell Racette, and Kristy Trinier. It will continue to be a valuable engagement tool and an essential resource for artists, art historians, curatorial studies, and those who appreciate Indigenous contemporary art and epistemologies.
