Shields' works primarily consist of appropriated archival photographic images of Native Americans taken from museum archives. She colorizes and layers each image with urban scenes creating ephemeral figures which link time, memory and location. Pocahontas Erotica also will include new works in which Shields commingles allure and popular icons. A member of the Kanai (Blood) tribe, Shields frequently creates work that reflects her early boarding school and urban experiences. In 1996, Shields received a residency at Lightworks at the University of New York in Syracuse from which she began digitizing her photographic works. Born in Salt Lake City, Shields grew up in Calgary and currently lives in San Francisco. She received her M.F.A. from Mills College in 1994. Shields is currently project coordinator of San Francisco's Civic Participation Neighborhood Organization Effort with Arts and Culture. This exhibition is supported by the Native American studies department, Women's Resources and Research Center and the California Arts Council's Multi-Cultural Entry Grant Program. The Carl Gorman Museum is named in honor of co-founding Native American studies faculty member Carl Gorman. The exhibition and all related events are free and open to the public.
