It’s like a mix between geometric language with different patterns, digital parts with organic parts… something like that. The Edmonton mural, for which Alberta is supposed to serve as the inspiration, should last forever although some colours may fade somewhat from exposure to sunlight.

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.

Ninikan (Ni-nican )
The translation of Ninikan (Ni-nican ) meaning ‘I am here’ in Nahuatl is a mantra I’ve come to know and use in my Indigenous reclamation process and also how I acknowledge the presence of my ancestors here and now. The word Ninikan resonates for me because despite it taking me some time to get here, they have always been waiting here for me to hold space for them, as they have always held space for me. In acknowledging their presence, it has given me the authority to claim my Mesoamerican lineage and add meaning to the visual language of this piece through the incorporation of Indigenous body movements and the celebration of my pre-columbian ancestors. This scene depicts a tender moment between myself and my ancestor at night, when the veil and connection is the strongest and the sacuanjoche flowers are in full bloom and most fragrant.

Sinclair, with a treatable infection was killed by racism, and wasn’t discovered dead until 34 hours after his arrival. He was only 45 when he died.
