Holding It Together

Holding It Together

These images contain loss, grief, longing and memory. The images are ripped to show the colonial violence that my family, and other Indigenous families, have experienced including residential school intergenerational trauma, loss of language, and displacement from our territories. These losses can never be fully healed but we can talk about our histories and realities through art, culture and stories.

Ten works in a series. Approx 4x3 feet. Paper, beadwork, embroidery thread, porcupine quills and caribou tufting.
