Known for her large-scale paintings and prints, Craig’s abstract compositions are characterized by a dynamic exploration and interpretation of Northern Cheyenne material culture. Incorporating vivid colors, recurring patterns, and interwoven forms situated in grids, Craig’s work explores and celebrates her Native ancestry, posing questions about the languages of modern abstract painting and the relationship to both historic and contemporary Indigenous culture.

Craig’s research-based practice begins in museum collections and archives, where she spends time meticulously studying Indigenous material culture. Her pictorial vocabulary is drawn specifically from Cheyenne beadwork, drawings and textiles. ‘Dyed Quills no 1’ takes its starting point from Northern Cheyenne quillwork. Through the process of constructing her compositions, Craig meditates on the personal and collective significance of these designs. By making paintings on canvas, Craig questions how we consider the history, context and influence of these abstract vocabularies.
