Visions and
Voices was exhibited in 1998 at the Arizona State Museum on the campus of the University of Arizona in
Tucson. The exhibit of ninety drawings depicts the individual qualities of American Indians
in today's society. Shipman met with each of the participants personally and presented their
portraits with quotes from them. The exhibit portrays Native Americans as human beings with
feelings and fears of their own—it does not keep them in the past, but presents them as they are
today. In early 1999, the exhibit traveled to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Later
that year it was displayed at the former Carnegie Library near the State Capitol Building of
Arizona.
While Visions and
Voices depicts the achievements and suffering of man, Das Gold denies the concept of man’s self-confidence and
glory.
