One Night I Dreamed of a Dog
Description
A carved wooden mask with large darker wooden eyes. There is a large white circle on the mask's forehead, with a matching shade of white circles around the eyes. Rope-like braids line the perimeter of the face, with a beaded, beard-like appearance under the chin. Deer skin tassels with red beads hang from each side of the mask., One Night I Dreamed of a Dog…; Rick Bartow; Carved Wood and Mixed Media; 9 x 6 x 3.5 inches; '93; BarR93020814; (inv. 1404), The frailty of life on this planet and the need to recognize the interconnectedness of all species are common threads that weave through Bartow's work. His Yurok Indian heritage and his experiences in Vietnam are the source of these feelings and nurture his imagery. Crow/raven and a pantheon of other animals, including man, figure prominently in his work. He reanimates the ancient myths of Northwest peoples into his visual language. Once the symbol of rebirth and the spirit of all life, crow is a ghost-like figure in this monotype who knows "he" is no longer central to our lives. (OAC documentation, 1990). A Vietnam veteran and a Yurok tribal member, he addresses grief and fear in his work as means to dismantling them. His work is represented by Froelick Gallery and Stonington Gallery.
