Silhouettes of human figures in vivid colors recline across the scene in Fantasy for a January Day. Kay WalkingStick upends Western, Euro-centric art historical expectations that art depict nudes as female, most often created by men. In an expression of her own desire, the artist painted male nudes from her personal female gaze. The abstracted figures of this work respond to the sexual revolution of the 1970s. WalkingStick emphatically states that this painting speaks to her concerns as a feminist rather than her Native identity. She says, “I am a fuller individual than simply a Native person. We are all more than just our race.”
