10\/13 SLTRIB: Sign-painting is in this Salt Lake City artist\u2019s blood, and her work is unavoidable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salt Lake City residents may not know of\u00a0Shley Kinser, but they almost certainly know her work.<\/p>\n

A\u00a040-foot graphic\u00a0for Spy Hop on 900 South. A\u00a0musical ode\u00a0on a wall outside the\u00a0Hip-Hop Education Resource Center. A massive old-timey mural at\u00a0Gracie\u2019s Gastro Pub. A\u00a0kaleidoscope mural\u00a0at Blended Table. An antique-style piece inside\u00a0Templin Family Brewing.<\/p>\n

Kinser grew up in a Utah sign shop \u2014\u00a0Schmidt Signs and Graphics\u00a0\u2014 where she studied under her family and a mentor, Ken Shelley. Creativity, she said, was always part of her family.<\/p>\n

10\/12 DESERET NEWS: Bronzed: The art and politics of statues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Glenn\u2019s sculpture studio is a lively place, jammed with works in progress. In one corner, a life-size clay figure of Johnny Cash, guitar over his shoulder, is serenading statues of Jackie Robinson, Elon Musk and Mr. Toad from \u201cThe Wind in the Willows.\u201d A Vietnam War soldier stands guard over them all. It\u2019s like the most interesting social event you\u2019ve never been to, crowded into an unassuming building that once housed his father\u2019s auto body shop. A genial older man in bronze sits on a park bench, smiling and taking it all in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis wife wanted to still be able to sit with him,\u201d explains Glenn, a tall 53-year-old with a quarterback\u2019s build and dark hair down past his ears. Glenn is a sculptor-for-hire, a 19th-century trade that is enjoying a 21st-century revival. Every figure in his crowded, rather messy studio in Provo, Utah, tells a story. Johnny Cash was commissioned for a music museum in Nashville, but when the pandemic hit, the order was paused. So were several others.<\/p>\n

10\/10 SLUG MAG: The White Buffalo Called Her to Clay: Pahponee\u2019s Ceramics and Bronze Art<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was when she visited a rare white buffalo and her calf that Pahponee really took her calling to clay pottery seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat white buffalo gave artistic assignments,\u201d Pahponee says. \u201cShe started communicating with me in a way that I could see her image on clay. So at that moment in time, it was almost like watching a shooting star go across the sky. I knew exactly where I needed to go after that and what I needed to make. There was no more guessing at that point, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is now Pahponee\u2019s 43rd year as a full-time practicing artist and her 10th year exhibiting at the annual Indigenous Art Market at the\u00a0Natural History Museum of Utah<\/i>, happening on October 12 and 13 this year.<\/p>\n

10\/7 SLUG MAG: Anti-Protagonists and Anti-Detectives in Michael Farfel\u2019s Glossy Eyed, Buzzy Fly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Farfel story leaves reality eventually,\u201d says the author of\u00a0Glossy Eyed, Buzzy Fly<\/i>. His most recent work proves no exception. Presenting as a tale of a private eye trying to solve a murder, Farfel\u2019s work sheds its skin almost instantly. After editor Ricky Maroon is found brained over a copy of an unpublished manuscript, the titular Fly must call upon Vivian, a\u00a0woman who is able to visualize what an author looks like after reading their work. With his new psychic friend, the Fly crosses the threshold into the unreal.<\/p>\n

Before\u00a0GEBF\u00a0<\/i>left reality, it first had to leave Farfel\u2019s head. The author had just published his first novel,\u00a0The Reluctant Journey of Manfred Bugsbee<\/i>, and was unsure of what was next.\u00a0\u201cThe first chapter was really just me forcing myself every day to sit down [and write]. I committed myself to making something new and not giving up.\u201d Farfel\u2019s uncertainty and drive prodded him to write about the very thing he found difficult: limitations.<\/p>\n

10\/3 SLUG MAG: <\/strong>Russel Albert Daniels\u2019 \u201cWild Roses\u201d Brings Visibility to Indigenous Communities<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Russel Albert Daniels describes his family\u2019s history as a blend of early Mormon settlers and Native Americans. His parents were born and raised on a Ute reservation, although he admits they were more Ute by culture than by blood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Today, Daniels is a multidisciplinary photographer and artist based in Salt Lake City. He specializes in documentary photography and storytelling with the aim of bringing visibility to Native American communities throughout the American West. His newest exhibition, \u201cWild Roses,\u201d was inspired by his experiences in these communities.<\/div>\n
\n

His photos have been shown at the\u00a0Library of Congress<\/i>,\u00a0Utah Museum of Fine Art<\/i>,\u00a0National Museum of the American Indian<\/i>\u00a0and in publications such as\u00a0National Geographic<\/i>,\u00a0The New York Times<\/i>,\u00a0Mother Jones<\/i>\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I look at the history of my family, I can just see what happened here in the West,\u201d says Daniels. One of his ancestors, a Din\u00e9 woman, was taken by the Ute people in the mid-1800s and sold to a polygamist Mormon settler. Her name was\u00a0Rose Daniels.<\/p>\n

It was 40 years ago at the Church History Museum\u2019s opening that Ezra Taft Benson, then president of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, said: \u201cI can see in my mind\u2019s eye myriads of people, the curious and the critics, the young, the old, the sophisticated and the humble, passing through the doors of this edifice. They will see that the church draws from cultures around the world, yet unifies them with a common theology.\u201d<\/p>\n
