Like a Hammer (Figure)
A richly adorned figurative form by Jeffrey Gibson, *Like a Hammer (Figure)* combines Indigenous craft traditions with contemporary artistic vision through an extraordinary assemblage of materials. Wool, glass beads, steel studs, and copper jingles layer over a wooden armature wrapped in deer rawhide, while quartz crystals, brass bells, and Angora goat fur add texture and ceremonial resonance. The work pulses with cultural memory and modern energy, embodying Gibson's signature synthesis of Native American material culture and queer identity.
