As an Indigenou s artist it is important I bring about useful ways of talking about our ex periences and sharing our story. My focus is on an accurate representation that challenges our pervasive American identity to interpret the modern H o Chunk experience. I create works that address our cultural survivance an d visual continuum.\n\nI make collage paintings with the intent to create a contemporary aesthetic that reflects\, revitalizes and reintegrates Ho C hunk visual art forms and stories. I have developed a multimedia artistic practice that expands the visual language through reincorporating traditio nal objects\, forms and motifs using contemporary methods and techniques. My process involved traveling to these places of our historical removal\, where I sought out access to documents\, maps\, photographs and cultural o bjects acquired by museums to research the visual forms and language of ou r material arts. This influenced my work by connecting to both our relatio nship to the land by relocation and our acquired traditional art forms. Th is exploration allows the artwork to speak on issues of land\, identity an d our visual culture by combining historical accounts\, maps and photograp hs with literary concepts\, art history and personal experiences.\n\nBy ut ilizing extensive research in combination with inherent perspective\; I am able to recover\, document and expand contemporary Ho Chunk artistic expr ession. I aim to contribute to the revision and inclusion of our history t hrough the active depiction of the Ho Chunk narrative. My perception and r elationship to land is based on a shared experience found within the power of these places of inspiration. This initial reaction is a physical inter vention with sites of historical relevance where the act of removal/reloca tion shares the connection between collage and my cultural background. The multidisciplinary works then inform one another\, contributing through th e use of materials and shared content. While I have been fortunate to inte ract with traditional culture properties\, I am committed to this lifelong accession of knowledge in an effort to develop artworks grounded in conce pts specific to Ho Chunk aesthetics\, stories and lifeways. My works are c ontemporary expressions that reflect my growth as a Ho Chunk artist and up holding the tradition of my culture."\n-------------------------------\nHe nry Payer is a Ho Chunk artist who works primarily with collage and mixed media. Born in Sioux City\, IA in 1986\, Payer received a BFA from the Ins titute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe\, NM in 2008. He was invited to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and obtained a MFA in 2013. Henry has exhibited his work at locations such as the Great Plains Art Mus eum in Lincoln\, NE\; All My Relations Gallery in Minneapolis\, MN\; Sherr y Leedy Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, MO\; and Overture Galleries loca ted in Madison\, WI. Payer’s work has also been exhibited at the Univers ity of Venice Ca’ Voscari\, Palazzo Cosulich in Venice\, Italy. Payer ha s spent time as an instructor at the Oscar Howe Summer Art Institute locat ed at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. He currently lives in Sioux City\, IA.\n\nPayer’s narrative compositions are bold and contempo rary. His works utilize Indigenous cartographic methods with traditional a spects of spatial representation and symbolism while appropriating Europea n modernist models of cubism\, spatial distortion and collage. Each work o ffers a visual narrative of symbols and appropriated voices from American consumer society that reconfigures history\, references the altered landsc ape or the identity of a portrait. Payer questions our presumptions and ch allenges the dialogue of what is to be expected of Indigenous artists.

As an Indigenou s artist it is important I bring about useful ways of talking about our ex periences and sharing our story. My focus is on an accurate representation that challenges our pervasive American identity to interpret the modern H o Chunk experience. I create works that address our cultural survivance an d visual continuum.\n\nI make collage paintings with the intent to create a contemporary aesthetic that reflects\, revitalizes and reintegrates Ho C hunk visual art forms and stories. I have developed a multimedia artistic practice that expands the visual language through reincorporating traditio nal objects\, forms and motifs using contemporary methods and techniques. My process involved traveling to these places of our historical removal\, where I sought out access to documents\, maps\, photographs and cultural o bjects acquired by museums to research the visual forms and language of ou r material arts. This influenced my work by connecting to both our relatio nship to the land by relocation and our acquired traditional art forms. Th is exploration allows the artwork to speak on issues of land\, identity an d our visual culture by combining historical accounts\, maps and photograp hs with literary concepts\, art history and personal experiences.\n\nBy ut ilizing extensive research in combination with inherent perspective\; I am able to recover\, document and expand contemporary Ho Chunk artistic expr ession. I aim to contribute to the revision and inclusion of our history t hrough the active depiction of the Ho Chunk narrative. My perception and r elationship to land is based on a shared experience found within the power of these places of inspiration. This initial reaction is a physical inter vention with sites of historical relevance where the act of removal/reloca tion shares the connection between collage and my cultural background. The multidisciplinary works then inform one another\, contributing through th e use of materials and shared content. While I have been fortunate to inte ract with traditional culture properties\, I am committed to this lifelong accession of knowledge in an effort to develop artworks grounded in conce pts specific to Ho Chunk aesthetics\, stories and lifeways. My works are c ontemporary expressions that reflect my growth as a Ho Chunk artist and up holding the tradition of my culture."\n-------------------------------\nHe nry Payer is a Ho Chunk artist who works primarily with collage and mixed media. Born in Sioux City\, IA in 1986\, Payer received a BFA from the Ins titute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe\, NM in 2008. He was invited to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and obtained a MFA in 2013. Henry has exhibited his work at locations such as the Great Plains Art Mus eum in Lincoln\, NE\; All My Relations Gallery in Minneapolis\, MN\; Sherr y Leedy Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, MO\; and Overture Galleries loca ted in Madison\, WI. Payer’s work has also been exhibited at the Univers ity of Venice Ca’ Voscari\, Palazzo Cosulich in Venice\, Italy. Payer ha s spent time as an instructor at the Oscar Howe Summer Art Institute locat ed at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. He currently lives in Sioux City\, IA.\n\nPayer’s narrative compositions are bold and contempo rary. His works utilize Indigenous cartographic methods with traditional a spects of spatial representation and symbolism while appropriating Europea n modernist models of cubism\, spatial distortion and collage. Each work o ffers a visual narrative of symbols and appropriated voices from American consumer society that reconfigures history\, references the altered landsc ape or the identity of a portrait.
