Horses and Deer
Object Details
- Artist
- Joe Feddersen, born Omak, WA 1953
- Exhibition Label
- This glass basket features a lone deer surrounded by many horses. In parts of Washington state, wild horses have overgrazed the natural habitat, thereby threatening the livelihood of other species. The basket’s bright yellow background signals urgency and alarm to the situation. An enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Washington, Joe Feddersen creates works in glass, fiber, and print that speak to relationships among humans, animals, and their environments.
