Dan Namingha: Visual Poet Builds Artistic Bridges
"I see myself as a bridge between worlds, trying to find that center
line of balance." Armed with paintbrush, welder or electric guitar,
Hopi/Tewa artist Dan Namingha thrives in the realms of dualities and
passages—night and day, darkness and light, the divine and the human,
life and death, positive and negative.

Artist Dan Namingha is fascinated by passages and passageways, both literal and figurative. Much of his work deals with physical and metaphysical passages and the transitory states between everyday reality and the spirit realm. To Namingha, life is composed of dualities: night and day, darkness and light, the divine and the human, life and death, outside and inside, the underworld and the upper world, positive and negative. These dualities are not inherently good or evil; they simply exist as counterbalances to one another.
