Spanish-language newspapers clippings are collaged onto the surface of a U.S. map, amidst paint drips bleeding over territorial boundaries and choruses of ¡Hola! and ¡Allo!, the artist’s renderings of greetings. In Echo Map I, part of the artist’s iconic Echo series, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith focuses on Spanish-speaking communities across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America as a result of migration, colonialism, and Indigenous histories. Through the revered tradition of gestural painting, Quick-to-See Smith interrogates the very formation of the U.S. on stolen Native land. An enrolled Salish member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, and of Métis and Shoshone descent, Quick-to-See Smith was a leader and organizer for Native American artists in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
