Amber Remaley-Navajo Critique on Miranda Taylor

The painting was an image of three women with drapery with Navajo symbols on the women's bodies. Some of the symbols were trees, dragonflies, and corn; which tied in with nature. This piece is related to the self-portrait and the personal belief by dealing with the female body and working with figures. The markings on the women's backs tied into Miranda, since she likes tattoos and has tree tattoo, which reminded me of the one on the one figure. In the beginning Miranda's Navajo piece was to small to hang, she talked about adding other canvas to make it a larger piece, but she wasn’t sure. On the day of hanging our artwork she painted drapery on two other canvas with Cherokee symbols, which she then hung in a dangle. Adding those two canvas completed her project and in the process made it larger.
