Abstract
My artistic practice as a Cree and Osage Two Spirit woman is rooted in an investigation of materials with cultural significance to my Indigenous tribes. Working with these materials
across my practice allows me to create painting and sculptural works that combine traditional and contemporary Indigenous art. In this thesis support document, I situate my research and practice within Indigenous art history, which has thrived despite the constant threat from colonial powers, and alongside Indigenous theorists and artists that opened up the way for me. Across my practice, I aim to explore Decolonization and the Reclamation of Indigenous sovereignty and traditions. I hope my work can contribute to other Indigenous artists and people on Turtle Island (The Americas), so that we can one day gain freedom from the shackles of colonialism. |
