Loved the opportunity and the outcome of this collab with William Carson, thank you brotha! Revolt Runners | Omtua and Catua Clay, coal and acrylic on panel. 36” x 24” x 6” “Omtua and Catua—young runners from Tesuque Pueblo, among several other messengers, carried knotted deer-hide strips more than 50 miles to surrounding villages just before the rebellion. The number of knots signaled the days remaining before the well-orchestrated uprising. But this ingenious plan was cut short and the revolt began early. Catua and Omtua were captured and hanged, becoming the first to give their lives to the cause.” —Po’Pay: Leader of the First American Revolution, Herman Agoyo and Joe S.
