Understanding (Re)conciliation through Art Making



I have created a piece of art (pictured above) that represents my present understanding of the complexities of the (re)conciliation process with Indigenous peoples in Canada. Each circle represents an element of (re)conciliation. More specifically, my art piece represents the words in the word cloud (pictured below). Significantly, most of the circles overlap one another representing the ways that the individual elements of (re)conciliation are interconnected. I chose to use the circle as my inspiration because of its significance with regards to notions of life cycles, knowledge and power, unbreakable strength, equity and relationships.

Winter Wonderland

Inspired by our lovely snow fall yesterday - and particularly inspired by a break from marking! - I made this small winter scene for a custom order. It truly is the holiday season!
