Description
In Tsiʔnú· tsyowehtáun Ohwáskʌ Kayaʔtuní (Origin of the Cornhusk Doll), Jami Balicki visually narrates the origin story of the corn husk doll through Van Dyke photographic prints on handmade paper. Tracing back to her matriarchal lineage and connecting to her current self, she performs as a corn husk doll, reflecting on various intersecting aspects of her identity, from indigeneity to gender. Across photography, papermaking, fiber arts, and installation, she preserves the corn husk.
