When He Sweats It Smells Like Cedar
Commissioned by the Westmoreland Museum of American Art for their inaugural Reflections of Glass Festival 2026. Based upon the painting When He Sweats It Smells Like Cedar (2025) by Jordan Ann Craig. See more here: https://thewestmoreland.org/reflections-in-glass/
This work was inspired by European glass “seed” beads used in Northern Cheyenne beadwork, which Craig draws upon in her painting, and by how the trading of these glass beads played a significant role in both the colonization of America and the revolution of Indigenous artistic expression.
