Using subterranean templates as molds, the root systems of plants are channeled, forming a textile-like material. During the growth process the roots conform to the patterns and the root material weaves or braids itself. For my research, I collaborate with biologists and ecologists of the Radboud University in Nijmegen

McMaster Museum of Art presents:
Unapologetic: Acts of Survivance January 12 – March 25, 2017 Curator: Rhéanne Chartrand Carl Beam Bob Boyer Robert Houle Gerald McMaster Shelley Niro Ron Noganosh Jane Ash Poitras Edward Poitras Pierre Sioui Jeff Thomas Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun This exhibition presents selected works of critical notoriety from the 1980s by eleven foundational contemporary Indigenous artists. As provocateurs, these artists declared that the lack of Indigenous representation in major arts institutions across Canada was symptomatic of a broader historical and on-going indifference to Indigenous peoples. These artists—and many others of their generation—(en)acted survivance by directly renouncing colonial dominance, tragedy, and the victimization of Indigenous peoples by asserting Indigenous presence through their art. As visual storytellers, their work stands as both evidence of and a means of cultural survival + resistance = survivance. Reception: Thursday, January 12, 6 – 8 pm Curator's Tour: Tuesday, January 31 at 12:30 pm Curator's Talk: Thursday, February 2 at 7 pm Panel Discussion: Thursday, February 9, 7 – 9 pm https://museum.mcmaster.ca/ Facilitated by Artists Cheryl L'Hirondelle and Joseph Naytowhow, Light Tipi: yahkâskwan mîkiwahp will launch LandMarks2017/Repères2017 with a community-based art activation that will bring light into the darkest day of the year.
