"Nakomis"
Nakoma Resort Designed for Madison, WI, 1923 (built in Clio, CA, 2001)
The American Indian tipi inspired designed of the Nakoma Golf Club was originally created by Wright in 1923 for a country club that was planned on Winnebago tribal ceremonial campgrounds in Wisconsin. When it was actually constructed after Wright's death in 2001 by the Taliesin Architects, it was for a different client in Northern California. Two sculptural figures were to stand in large circular shallow basins of water at the entrance to the Nakoma Country Club in Madison, Wisconsin. The California sculptures were created at ninety percent of the originally planned height: 16 and 11 1/2 feet respectively and stand in the entrance of the resort to welcome guests.
The Native American warrior, Nakomis, is a rectilinear design - Proud, angular and striking. With a commanding, fatherly presence he teaches his son to shoot with a bow and arrow.
