R.C. Gorman created Tawzi in 1985 in an edition of 90 — a papercast from the gallery’s collection. Gorman’s papercasts build his imagery in layered, cast paper — a relief medium whose soft shadows give the work a gentle, sculptural depth.
Gorman’s gallery catalog spans prints, drawings, sculpture, and ceramics, and this work sits within that celebrated tradition. Papercasts show to advantage under raking light, where the layered relief throws soft shadows across the surface. It suits collections focused on papercast work by R.C. Gorman and makes a grounded acquisition for collectors of Southwestern art and Native American fine art.
