ARTIST STATEMENT
Straddling a chopper bicycle decked with a buffalo skull and a parfleche, a supernatural traveller fixes his gaze on the infinite distance, prepared to ride. His gleaming hair flowing from a cowboy hat adorned in beadwork, the rider is covered in cultural belongings, roping together traditional NDN aesthetics with hip-hop sensibilities. Referencing the 1969 film Easy Rider while evoking the boundless landscape of the Great Plains, Claxton’s cinematic vision invites viewers to journey through the past, present, and future.
