 Among the artists in the Eiteljorg's Native Art Now! Exhibition is Holly Wilson, a member of the Delaware Tribe of Oklahoma/Cherokee, and a 2015 fellow. The artist’s small bronze sculpture, “Enough” (2015), depicts a girl on top of pastry boxes surrounded by tiny cupcakes, including the two cupcakes she is holding, one in each hand.

“We don’t enjoy what we hold when we have too much,” Wilson says. To her, the cupcakes represent greed or excess, when we are trying to acquire specific things we want to have, or acquire more money to buy more things.
