Room 9 of the Pavilions will feature a suite of paintings by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, d. 2025), who was an enrolled Salish member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, Montana. Smith critically examined how political systems have imposed borders on Native American populations and forcibly displaced them over the last 200 years. In Echo, 2000, I See Red: Indian Map, 1992, and Map to Heaven, 2021, Smith used thick contours of paint to obscure state and national lines, calling into question the validity of the border system of the United States. She layered materials such as paper, wood, beadwork, quillwork, rawhide, and metal, creating multidimensional works that blur the line between painting and sculpture.
