I collect sticks or I might collect stones and other jewels of nature. They end up in the studio and as my pieces come together I sometimes refer to them and reference them in terms of shapes and patterns and colors. This piece is in memory of my grandmother and memories of childhood at my grandmother's house. I remember the beautiful blues of the morning glory which is a flower that would grow along the fence and in the fields.&quot;</font>")

If you look back at some of my drawings you'll see the pink deer leaping over the tree stump in Little Caney, and also the blue morning glory in Flower Of Morning. The beaded cicada on the vest, for me, was like a visual symbol of the sounds of summer. Those are actual maple leaves from my mother's front yard that I've used as patterns.<br>I used a combination of different sized beads: some translucent, some opaque, both Czech and French. This is a very autobiographical and personal vest that is very much connected to my particular family.&quot;</font>")

dataJB[14] = new data("images/collaboration/15baker_j_l.jpg","<font>&quot;The Delaware have always been known for their magnificent beaded bandolier bags and it was very much historically a part of our dress and our identity. The bandolier bag was a way in which we were recognized by other people. They all but disappeared from our community in Oklahoma, because they had been heavily collected- being a very desirable piece for collectors.<br>I felt it was very important that these pieces return and be brought home. The only way, as an artist, I knew to help make this happen was to create a bandolier bag and to ask the good blessings and prayers of other important people to make this piece. I'm very happy to say that it's been three years now and if you were to go to Oklahoma today and go to the Delaware Powwow, which is held in the spring, you would see not one bandolier bag, but three. So it's starting to happen and it's a great feeling to be part of that - to be witness of that.&quot;</font>")

The cardinals are a reference to home for me. I've always been watchful and aware of the cardinals presence in the landscape and what I've always enjoyed seeing is that great sort of streak of red that can move across a green environment. It's really quite exquisite. Cardinals are used a lot in the visual imagery that I utilize in painting and drawing. The bilateral symmetry and the color use from dark to light is common in traditional Delaware work.&quot;</font>")
dataJB[17] = new data("images/collaboration/18baker_j_l.jpg","<font>&quot;I had the opportunity to see pieces in the NMAI collection. Some of them I had seen photographically reproduced, in particular beadwork items. One of the bandolier bags I had seen earlier in a reproduction, but there is nothing to compare to actually seeing and feeling the presence of the piece. It's a very powerful experience. In reproduction and through technology you can never truely capture the spirit of the piece or the color of the piece and how light plays off the surface of the beads.&quot;</font>")
dataJB[18] = new data("images/collaboration/19baker_j_l.jpg","<font>&quot;Actually there were many very personal moments for me while seeing the pieces in the collection. To behold such beautiful work and then also to be reminded that the traditional designs, though they may not be exactly the same, continue to live on today and live on in the bandolier bags which I have made.<br>It's very much being honored today in comtemporary work and using contemporary materials and that's a wonderful and important connection for us to be reminded of and for all people to experience. To experience that connectedness to past and that hope and connectedness to the future and I think it's after the experience of the Artist-In-Residency you really have a true sense of how it fits in your life and other's lives.&quot</font>")
