Tigers on Another Planet with Rainbow Laser Fun Clouds
The imagery within this mural is a continuation of Ten Yetman’s recent art of creatures from another world. It focuses on two tiger-like beings who have been brought to a new planet. They have evolved and adapted to their new surroundings, developing two noses and mouths, yet they still exist together on the planet in harmony. A lot of Yetman’s recent work has been inspired by Science Fiction moves of the 1960s and 70s. Filled with bright, fun, and mystical motifs, Yetman hopes people feel a charge of happy energy and inspiration when they see this mural.

cloth, quill, ghost worlds
Both the images and sound work exist synergistically, centered on ideas of intra-actions, entanglements, enfoldings and assemblies. The image informs the language and the language is built from the image. Each image was constructed based on the conceptual framework of the Anishinaabemowin, being an agglutinative language, is built upon the fragments of other words or morphemes. This lends itself to an incredibly rich framework from which the speaker can precisely and eloquently express and manifest a complexity of worlds. The fluidity inherent in the language forms a critical method from which to consider the cyclical process of assemblies/[dis]assemblues and [dis]memberments/ rememberances. That is, the space and movement between these spectra are the generative spaces that inform this work.
