'Something to Do with Being Held', acrylic on canvas by Jordan Ann Craig

Earlier this month The Guardian published an article on Native American art in the UK in which writer Matthew Wilcox described Rainmaker Gallery as ‘The torchbearer for Native American art”.

“The torchbearer for contemporary Native American art in the UK has been Rainmaker Gallery in Bristol. Its latest show, Pattern, explores the recurring presence of pattern in indigenous cultures. It features the work of Jordan Ann Craig, who is also exhibiting at the October Gallery in London. Craig, an artist of Cheyenne heritage, grew up in northern California. Her print work – a series of striking abstract patterns influenced by traditional Cheyenne design – is typified by Red-Orange Dyed Quills, which references the tradition of quill work.”
