About the artist:

Marvin Jim and Grace Begay - Animal Sculptures:
Based upon the Navajo creation tales, the sculptures of Marvin Jim reflect a time long ago, when animals and humans walked and worked together to create a new world. These traditional stories speak of conversations among all beings, of behaving in a manner of mutual respect and of all beings having an equal position in the community. These legends are an essential part of the Navajo culture. The tales are of universal interaction, compassion and tolerance; the things necessary to live a balanced existence.

Frog
The black and blue Frogs are east and west and are male, the white and yellow Frogs are north and south and are female. The white streaks down their backs signify armor and dawn, the spots on their bodies are different kinds of corn. When the Frogs were people they planted corn (shown in the quadrants). The rainbow bars are their strength and protection. The center is black water with outlines of suds (foam), pollen, and rainbows. The pairs of white lines on the water are soap suds from the sun's rays. More about this legend
