Glen LaFontaine’s ceramics merge Native tradition with the playful irreverence of 1960s–70s Pop Art. Ceremonial chiefs and drummers bear anguished yet theatrical expressions, while ledger-style horses and thunderbirds mingle with shiny cars and green buffaloes stamped with whimsical dollar signs. This vibrant fusion offers a wry commentary on identity and stereotype, blending history with humor and resilience. LaFontaine’s work invites us to see Indigenous culture as both profound and playfully adaptive.
