A photo of blue, green, and gold regalia on a mannequin. The fabric is sewn such that it resembles ripples of water and intersections of minerals (in the opinion of Kinsey). There is a leather belt with beadwork and pearls as well as wrist cuffs with beads in the shape of flowers.
A closeup photo of the wrist cuffs.
A photo of the back of the regalia which shows a large bow made of white, semi-opaque cloth.
A photo of the placard for the regalia. It reads, "A Reflection on Home. The colors and designs of this regalia represent connections between the artist's home community in Oneida Nation, Wisconsin and her new home in Chicago. Blues and greens represent Lake Michigan as well as her reservation, and stone gray mimics both skyscrapers and the bluffs and caves of Wisconsin. The Oneida are the Onyota'a:ká, or People of the Standing Stone, and the colors of the traditional Oneida white corn husks are reflected throughout the beadwork. To be "of Stone and Husk," as the regalia is titled, is to know who you are even when your identity is informed by many places. This piece was commissioned for the Indigenous Chicago exhibition.
