From the Artist

I was moving all around...Everywhere I moved to, my heart changed. In Duckworth I've become more introspective. That's where I'm at now. I'm just doing what I enjoy. I enjoy the mountains and the energy around that.

Jack Malotte makes artworks that celebrate the landscapes of the Great Basin, with a unique focus on contemporary political issues faced by Native people seeking to protect and preserve access to their lands. Malotte infuses wry humor into his work, even as he delves into subject matter that is sometimes serious and sobering. Malotte's most recent work reconsiders historical narratives and myths of the American West, refers to Western Shoshone and Washoe traditions and legends, and highlights longtime political, environmental, and legal struggles of Native communities.
