Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt

This is an interdisciplinary look at the works by Seneca Nation member Marie Watt and draws from history, biography, and Indigenous teachings. Her work underscores the sacred role of storytelling throughout history and across culture, delving into elemental themes: dreams, myths, memories, earth, and the cosmos. This is the first-ever inquiry into the artist's printmaking processes and techniques and was published on the occasion of Watt's retrospective traveling exhibition. Spanning 1996 to the present, the book compiles a considerable breadth of prints.

Includes a scholarly essay by art historian Jolene Rickard that reflects upon Watt's contributions to the discipline. Dr. Rickard spoke at the Hall of Philosophy during week 6 of the 2024 season. She serves as associate professor of Indigenous Art in History of Art and Visual Culture at Cornell University.
