Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Sonya Kelliher-Combs offers a chronicle of the ongoing struggle for
self-definition and identity in the Alaskan context. Her
combination of shared iconography with intensely personal imagery
demonstrates the generative power that each vocabulary has over the
other. Similarly, her use of synthetic, organic, traditional and
modern materials moves beyond oppositions between Western/Native
culture, self/other and man/nature, to examine their
interrelationships and interdependence while also questioning
accepted notions of beauty. Kelliher-Combs' process dialogues the
relationship of her work to skin, the surface by which an
individual is mediated in culture. Sonya Kelliher-Combs was raised
in the Northwest Alaska community of Nome. Her Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree is from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Master
of Fine Arts is from Arizona State University. Through her mixed
media painting and sculpture, Kelliher-Combs offers a chronicle of
the ongoing struggle for self-definition and identity in the
Alaskan context. Her combination of shared iconography with
intensely personal imagery demonstrates the generative power that
each vocabulary has over the other. Similarly, her use of
synthetic, organic, traditional and modern materials moves beyond
oppositions between Western/Native culture, self/other and
man/nature, to examine their interrelationships and interdependence
while also questioning accepted notions of beauty. Kelliher-Combs'
process dialogues the relationship of her work to skin, the surface
by which an individual is mediated in culture. Kelliher-Combs' work
has been shown in numerous individual and group exhibitions in
Alaska, the United States and internationally, including the
national exhibition Changing Hands 2: Art without Reservation and
SITELINES: Much Wider Than a Line. She is a recipient of the
prestigious United States Arts Fellowship, Joan Mitchell
Fellowship, Eiteljorg Fellowship for Native American Fine Art, and
a Rasmuson Fellowship. Her work is included in the collections of
the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Art, Anchorage Museum,
Alaska State Museum, University of Alaska Museum of the North,
Eiteljorg Museum, and The National Museum of the American Indian.
Kelliher-Combs currently lives and works in Anchorage, Alaska.
