"Standing Water" is an oil on paper work mounted to canvas by Diné artist Emmi Whitehorse, who is known for her abstract explorations of landscape and natural phenomena. The painting captures the subtle interplay of light, color, and form characteristic of Whitehorse's mature practice, which draws inspiration from the American Southwest and themes of water, geology, and indigenous land relationships. Her technique of working across multiple surfaces and mediums creates layered compositions that invite contemplative viewing while maintaining a distinctly contemporary abstract sensibility.
