“Brad Kahlhamer’s work echoes this great cosmological cycle, where a swirling garland of totemic animals, skulls, tribal patterns, and historical figures ascends with atavistic force toward the sky… Kahlhamer’s work connects Indigenous land and identity, while Albert Bierstadt’s painting from the colonial frontier veil the exploitative ambition of American imperialism.”
From Terraphilia exhibition catalog.
