Artists' show reflects
richness in heritage
of Native Americans
Art Review by Billy Shaffer
Works by three painters and a sculptor from the
western and northwestern United States are on exhibi
tion at Sheldon Art Gallery. The "Four Native Ameri
cans" show will continue through Nov. 14.
Jaune Quick-to-See Smith is a painter from Corrales,
N.M. Her works basically can be divided into two
categories: decorative robes and stacked, or "totem,"
paintings. They combine elements of landscapes,
ceramics and birds with bars and blocks of color.
Dan Mimingha is primarily a landscape and figure
painter. His work incorporates the modern styles and
techniques of what has come to be called the "New
York School' The style blends surprisingly well
with his interpretations of tribal beliefs and native
experiences.
Randy Lee White, a painter and printmaker, uses
a variety of materials to work on, from buffalo hides
to ledger paper. According to the artist, his work is
about tension, while warriors, war parties and images
of violence play a large role in his work.
John Hoover, the only sculptor in "Four Native
Americans," uses subtly colored cedar carvings as
either mobiles or wall hangings. The earth-toned
pieces mix natural motifs, such as birds, solves, sal
mon and seals, with human figures. Hoover's work
particularly echoes the relationship between man
and environment that runs throughout the "Four
Native Americans" show.
Individuals pop into city
Cover boys of the current issue of New York
Rocker magazine, the Individuals, will be appearing
at the Drumstick tonight.
The Individuals are a pop group based in New
York City. Their sound combines Everly Brothers
vocals with twanging Byrds guitar.
The Individuals EP "Aquamarine" made the
Top 10 of the year lists in. the Village Voice and
the New York Times. Robert Palmer of the New
York Times wrote that the Individuals are a pop
rock band with "fresh ideas." Principal songwriter
Glen Morrow is "wonderfully versatile and has
a winning sense of humor . . . this is a band that
sounds commercial as well as creative."

Dynatones.at Zoo Bar
Danny Meldon Cerretta, a former Lincolnite, re
turns to town tonight with the Dynatones. Cerratta,
a high energy vocalist and prolific songwriter, wrote
most of the Dynatones material.
The Dynatones picked up a national reputation
backing up legendary blues man Charlie Mussel
white. After a highly acclaimed album on Solid
Smoke Records, the Dynatones parted company
with Musselwhite. The Dynatones have moved from
traditional blues to a soul, rhythm and blues sound.
Drummer Big Walter Shuffelsworth said that
Danny Mcldon Cerretta has made a big difference.
"We went through dozens of auditions for the
job," Shufflelsworth said. "Wlien Danny grabbed
the microphone, danced across the stage and belted
his first song, I knew the audition was over."
Shufflesworth has toured with Big Walter
Morton, Llvin Bishop and Motown Revues. A single
on Solid Smoke, "Love Cify" backed with "Twin
Time" has just come out". The Dynatones will be at
the Zoo Bar.
The projector starts to roll. The black gets pinker.
The slow clap of numerals flipping in the clock beside
your bed grows louder. Your cat Thyme cries from the
hall. Me ow, you agree, hungover from a lost Saturday
into a sadder day.
You pulse awake and look to the dazzling window
Outside, the winter's first snowfall falls in huge pokey
flakes, the kind kids and birds like to watch vanish into
the ground, or the earth into -them, a glittering in
between, an ambiguous silver screen from the gray sky
to the gray row of homes in a neat line, threaded on
wires, antennae sported, roofs pointing up, windows
David Wood
square and dry people inside in single or double beds
maybe looking out at them. You look out the window
and, as though the snow were myriad twinkling stars,
wish you could ride in the sun on breezes and land so
lightly.
To feed the cat you finally go, into the grim morning
after. You see and hear, you think, all fuzzy, staticky,
like a television when the shows are through. All over
are the remnants of the party. Beer cans lay where they
dropped in last night's action. Butts, ashes and stale air
remain where once had been smoke. The chessboard is
on the floor. Some men are broken.
The game should have been put away yesterday. Now
it is- too late. Wait and waste, you should have learned
yesterday. Now it is too late.
"Farking amazin'," your roommate Art had said. "I
can't even believe you made that move. You coulda taken
my queen and I woulda conceeded in a move or more."
He said that and you said, "I can't even either. Crap.
I didn't see the tree for the forest."
You see it now though. You see Tracey's coat with
Art's on the floor of the next room. There is her fat purse.
Here are her contact lenses like inverted tears on ,top of
this empty. You look. You see. She is in your house, here
and now with Art, sleeping bare to bare. Yes. His
bedroom had been closed, shut. Slut.
Sparking flurries resembling thoughts blizzard in your
brain. You tremble, sit down, light a cigarette.
It was last week, yes. at Flo's midterms party. Tracey's
green eyes and yours met, met and met again. You can't
forget. How you selectly smiled at each other's humor.
You both noticed.
