Blanket Songs
Blanket Songs is a multi-media installation and performance by artist and composer John Hitchcock. The artist examines, combines, and reinterprets traditional narratives of the American frontier and indigenous stories.
John Hitchcock examines, combines, and reinterprets traditional narratives of the American frontier and indigenous stories to tell the story of “The West.” The installation features neon sculptures, video, prints, fabric works, and objects.
Hitchcock’s artworks are based on his childhood memories and stories of growing up in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma on Comanche tribal lands next to the US field artillery military base Ft. Sill. Many of the images in his work are interpretations of stories told by his Kiowa/Comanche grandparents and/or abstract representations informed by beadwork, land, and culture.
Hitchcock offers a performance in the gallery Friday, January 27 at 5:30 p.m., after which an opening reception takes place from 6-8 p.m.
