Native American Sculptor Heroes
by Suzan Shown Harjo
Bob Haozous, Preston Singletary, and Roxanne Swentzell are luminaries in the world of Native American sculpture. Critics, artists, and tribal people alike hold them in high regard, but their gateways to artistic expression represent a wide expanse of diverse cultures and genres.
Swentzell is Santa Clara Pueblo, Singletary is Tlingit, and Haozous is Chiricahua Apache. Haozous works in wood and stone, but is known for his monumental steel sculptures. Singletary creates his versions of Northwest Coast designs exclusively in glass. Swentzell sculpts figures in clays indigenous to her New Mexico home, clays that are used primarily for Pueblo pottery.
