ABOUT / ARTIST STATEMENT
The work reflects my learning relationships between land, ancestral knowledge, memory and the sacredness of water. I used the imagery of birch bark and porcupine quills because of its connection to the natural world and technology in making cultural objects; canoes, baskets, and sunglasses. However, they were more than just utilitarian objects; they held knowledge bundles (traditional teachings) passed onto the next generation.
