Skwachàys Lodge Aboriginal Hotel and Gallery

Named "Dis(place)ment", this exhibit aims to explore what Placemaking means through an Indigenous lens. Placemaking, in the English definition, is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness and well-being.
.
.
But where do Indigenous people's fit into this definition, especially within Canada? A history of displacement within Indigenous communities has contributed to a loss of language, culture, and oftentimes community cohesiveness. However, the resilience of our people has allowed for new spaces to open and new communities created, particularly within metropolitan areas such as Vancouver.

This exhibit attempts to highlight the issue of displacement in Indigenous communities while simultaneously inspiring individuals to create their own spaces through sharing culture, self-reflection and community-building.

My work is part of the @tedxabbotsford x @abbotsfordartscouncil digital exhibit "Perception".

"This piece was created specifically for a debut at Perception. I painted this piece to draw attention to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in my own way. Depicted is a painterly human skull representing the tragic outcome for these women as well as the red hand print that symbolizes the violence against these women."

Please go check out the exhibit and see the other beautiful work by some awesome artists:

You may recognize some of these from my Inktober illustrations. I really like how I could lay them out to form a sort of "scientific" illustration.

This was my painting in the @abbotsfordartscouncil Anonymous Art Show and it sold last Monday! Thank you to all you art lovers who purchased something through the show and a special thanks to whoever bought mine!
