The Partnership
16” X 30”, Mixed Media; oils, embroidery floss
Lake Region State College, Devils Lake ND

"The Partnership" a collaborative piece with the foundation completed by Emily Yellow Bird and the images done by Black Pinto Horse.  This work is from the “Calling of the Ponies” Series, and it conveys the joining of two very different lives on the same spiritual journey working with children during a time of chaos. The biomorphic application of complementary Blues with Yellows portrays the concentrated conflict within the journey. Four Horses bring about change and introduce Hope. Black Pinto Horse is surrounded in the circle of life. The two feathers represents both Emily and Monte and the joining of lives on the same path in the center of creator's universe represented by the Medicine Wheel. Small spirit lights in the composition are relatives arriving at a time of need.

It's a calling out to all the relatives for prayers in a time of need.  It reveals how the prayers are being carried for the individual that is seeking Creator's help.  The prayers are being carried on the backs of the horses, never changing and remaining untouched by the enemy (negative).
