Halfmoon’s tribe the Caddo tribe also has a rich history with ceramics, especially with pottery. “My tribe has been making pottery for thousands of years,” she says. “It’s such an ancient material, and I think of how my family before me did this. We have all touched clay, and that inherently transported to my hands.” While the artist’s approach to ceramics certainly mimics the Back In The G Game Shirt  work of her ancestors, Halfmoon’s approach is decidedly more contemporary. She creates large-scale sculptures of Indigenous figures that command a room and the striking creations are now on view in a new solo exhibition at the Gallery in Chelsea. A lot of the public faith has been lost because of the Trump era. We have our work cut out for us. I know that but I think that having a forward-looking agenda instead of having a president that wakes up every morning and says, “How can I get revenge against someone I hate and instead says, How many cases of coronavirus are there in Duluth, Minnesota today,” that would be a big improvement.

One of her larger pieces in the show is Hey en, Ina, Ika. It depicts three Indigenous women standing side by side, and serves as a representation of the Wendypremium - Back In The G Game Shirt Indigenous women in Halfmoon’s life. “It represents my grandmother, my mother, and myself,” she says. “It represents multiple lineages and generations. In general, the artist tends to favor creating sculptures of women versus men. The strongest women I know are Native, she says. They’re very androgynous though. I don’t glaze makeup onto them or give them crazy eyelashes. I’m not worried about making them beautiful they’re meant to be a powerful presence.”
