“The land is made up of the bones of my ancestors…” 1
Bones mean a lot to me: my own and those of the land. I broke my spine as a child, so both literally and metaphorically speaking, I know the body is one’s first home and I understand what it means to lose it. This knowledge forms the skeleton of my artistic path, and compels
me toward ideas which connect me to the land. The land is also our home and ultimately the receptacle for our remains. I have come to the realization that I will only remain true to my practice by staying true to the land.
I remain fascinated with the visual elements of southwest Saskatchewan and explore energy in its physical, psychic and spiritual forms as a means to understand my interdependent
relationship with the land. Known to biologists, artists, photographers, tourism operators, ranchers and other locals as ‘grasslands’, and to First Peoples as ‘maka tatanka’ or ‘buffalo-land’, the southwest and its natural inhabitants are celebrated for their beauty and resiliency to survive under extremely harsh weather conditions. Compromised, however, by accelerated human intervention, the lives of these inhabitants, (many of them considered species at risk), are compromised to the point that even the soil has become a ‘species at risk’.
I use realism to portray actual landmarks along with their non-human inhabitants and combine these with real and fictionalized visual narrative. I walk the land with camera, conducting traditional protocol as I go. My artistic process is informed by reviews of historical documents, poetic literature, local oral history, (often derived from coffee row), my own meditation and dream work plus a specialized dialogue process borrowed from intuitive process painting. The
latter process allows me to build an integral working relationship with each painting.
As each painting is comprised of multiple processes including several photographs and more than one story, I witness, honour, learn from and care for the land and its resident beings. This
method of research allows me to discover the transformational currency of the various forms of energy.
The term ‘ transformational currency’ refers to the archetypal cycles of life and death, and the stories that arise. My ongoing studies with First Nation knowledge keepers, including my life
partner, as well as the practices of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy move me beyond my
colonial understanding of the natural world; all subsequently reflected in my work. For me, these processes, world views and my experience of the land transform my subject matter from
simple ‘landscape’ to an exploratory fusion of land, self and other. My artistic practice is evolving into one of reciprocity and humility.
Inspired by contemporary visual artists like Marsha Kennedy, photographer such as Edward Burtynsky and James Page, and Métis and Nehiyaw/Cree interdisciplinary artists Madonna
Hamel, Moe Clark and Joseph Naytowhow, the act of painting for me yields a visual health record or ‘temperature gauge’ of the land and its inhabitants. Painting is how I stay in touch with my subject matter while I am away from ‘the field’. It’s also my primary way of creating public dialogue about land and related issues to achieve transformation. Painting is my act of
agency and my medicine.
