Songs for Time Immemorial - Monica Gilles-Brings Yellow
48”h x 47”w
Mixed Media Mural: Mixed media resin collage
Hanger free and suitable for any customized hanging or framing system. Weatherized print and suitable for indoor or outdoor display.
Artist Statement: My painting, “Songs from Time Immemorial” is based off a photo featuring Frank Mountain Chief (Blackfeet) and ethnomusicologist Francis Densmore. Francis Densmore traveled the US recording songs from different Tribal Nations and these songs are one of the first known recordings of the human voice. I chose the photograph that my painting is based off because I wanted a visual image to explore the relationships that different groups of people in our society have with each other and whether they hold space and attempt to understand people that are culturally different from them.
