Cow Skull #1 Mixed Media

Cow Skull #1
by Kim Robbins
Energized, timeless beauty.

The cow skull is a symbol that has been used by Native Americans, ranchers, and southwest artisans to represent the spirit of the American West. Georgia O’Keefe saw it as something lively, composed of beautiful lines and shapes. In art, the cow skull has been said to offer a reflection on potential, possibility, abundance, and beginnings.

Apache Dance #2

Apache Dancers #1 & #2
by Kim Robbins
The Spirit Medicine Dance

Performed by the Chiricahua, this dance tells the story of two men left behind in a cave by their tribe while the warriors went off to battle. One of the men was blind, the other crippled. The scarves worn over their faces represent the blind man.

As the two men were resting by the fire that night the “Divine Spirit” spoke to them and both of the men were healed. The Chiricahua perform this dance in memory of that miracle and to express their hope for more miracles for their loved ones.
