"Abstract...

in Your Home..." I like that the abstract sculpture I posted way back when appears as a reflection in the windows of this piece...symbolically putting the abstract in this teepee home.

Neal Ambrose-Smith’s neon installation at Albuquerque Museum explores concepts of home, abstract art, and cultural experiences. He describes a teepee as a perfectly engineered structure that is incredibly versatile, sturdy, and able to withstand the harsh conditions of the Southwestern climate. It also represents his Indigenous culture and demonstrates how the idea of home may be different depending on time and place but also embodies universal ideas of shelter, familiarity, traditions, and family.
