Join the Ulrich Museum of Art for a talk from Doug Coffin — who created the two Spirit Totems, “Sun” and “Moon” at the Duerksen Amphitheatre — at 6 p.m. Thursday Sept. 19 in the Beren Gallery. Join a reception at 5:30 p.m.
In both his sculptures and paintings, the New Mexico-based artist (Potowatomi and Creek) has developed a style that suggests a fusion of the ancient totemic form used by many Native cultures with the abstraction and geometric forms of the modernist. The Ulrich installed “the 87th and 88th additions “Sun” and “Moon” to the Martin H. Bush Outdoor Sculpture Collection in April 2024.
