Matted artwork print
Gerald Dawavendewa (Hopi & Cherokee)
A spiritual star being who brings balance to the universe.
Katsinam are benevolent spirits that bring ceremonies to the Hopi. These rituals are performed throughout the year until their return to the spirit world. They represent many roles, from warriors, animals, plants, and elements such as rain and stars. As a bridge between this world and the spiritual, they remind the Hopi people of the path of life.
Acid-free photo paper is used to print the artwork, and smudge-, fade-, and water-resistant inks ensure a lasting print. The 11x14 inch (27.9x35.5 cm) matted print includes a bevel-cut matte, backing board, description, artist biography, and cultural details. An envelope safeguards the print, and matted print will fit a standard frame; image of framed print is included to show possibilities, frame is not included.
