The Strength of the Sky

The Strength of the Sky, by Jimmy Descant, depicts a monolithic rocket ship made from parts from the Golden Age of American manufacturing, representing the strength and longevity of our continent’s First Peoples. Descant’s work does not contain nor depict any guns, bullets, or bombs, as they are for the peaceful exploration of time, space, ideas, and cultures, which this piece directly reflects, what Descant sees as the ascending tendencies of life and purpose for progress of Native Americans in an era of renewed environmental and government repression.
