Distant Thunder by Star Liana York
York's work depicts Native American culture, cowboy themes, and Western wildlife. The exquisitely crafted details of "Distant Thunder" are typical of her highly naturalistic work. At the installation, Star explained that the piece depicted, “a medicine woman who ran with Geronimo. I wanted to do a sculpture of a woman facing a challenging situation.” This work was donated to the UNM Cancer Center by Paul & Lucy Roth, formerly of Santa Fe.
