Dwayne Wilcox: Above The Fruited Plain Description:
AN EXHIBIT OF ELEVEN LEDGER DRAWING BY OGLALA/LAKOTA ARTIST
Ledger Art has a rich history with the Plains people. The term comes from the accounting ledger books that were a common source of paper for Plains Indians during the late 19th century. The medium was revived by Native American artists in the 1960s as a platform for contemporary expression.

Wilcox brilliantly uses humor and irony in his work, and within the strong design principles he adds the element of a resolved narrative. Wilcox's wit pokes fun at often uncomfortable situations while showing us different world views that are inherently cultural. Wilcox states, "The culture I grew up in has a wonderful place for humor, it is also medicine, and I would hope to show this to the outside world."
