How do we draw the line between good and bad; who we are, where we want to be…then reflect, create, and disperse our work? Meet Jeffrey Gibson, a Native American artist who’s continually tackling the conflict of design within the confines of cultural identity vs. an unbridled love for modern art. Is he obligated by his roots to pursue the former and deny the right to appropriate the latter? The process has been a path of self discovery and acceptance, and his latest exhibition succeeds in uncovering a unique voice, melding two loves.
