We took some time in Coolum Beach after the conference. One of my favourite days was visiting the Noosa Everglades. I loved that the tea tree leaves tint the water a beautiful red!

Then we flew to Sydney and spent a wonderful few days with Andy (@andykeoquan) and Stevie, who made us to a gorgeous dinner and showed us around town!

And forgot to thank Rosie (@rosannabstevens) and Kate for your warm hospitality in Kabi Kabi Country—we loved having a yarn with you! 🩷 hope to be back soon!

It was a beautiful welcome to the Indigenous Futures Centre conference from Uncle Lyndon and the Kabi Kabi community on the Sunshine Coast! I was incredibly honoured to co-present our curatorial exhibition, Ascending Horizons, with Kim Anderson and to meet so many Indigenous scholars, researchers, and artists from around the world!

Late to posting, but had a quick stop in Vancouver before heading to Queensland, Australia! And had the best time catching up with Charlene Vickers in her studio and over dinner before traveling to present our Ascending Horizons exhibition and catalogue at the Indigenous Futures Centre conference ✨

Only a few more days left to see the Indigenous Art Exhibition at Woodland Cultural Centre, open until September 30 🧡

Curating the 50th Anniversary Indigenous Art Juried Exhibition has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career! Since its beginning in 1975, the Indigenous Art exhibitions at WCC have been part of an ongoing movement that shares how Indigenous artists have always been at the forefront, reshaping conversations in the arts.

It has been a great honour to work with so many powerful voices, from emerging to lifelong artists. Many of them have inspired my practice as an image maker. I learned so much from the artists, the jurors, and the wonderful team at Woodland Cultural Centre.

In celebrating 50 years, we also carve pathways for the future. Legacy is something we inherit and continue forward. Like the seeds referenced in the title of the companion exhibition, “Tending to the Seeds”, featuring Patricia Deadman and Thomas V. Hill, this legacy grows when nurtured with love. They have made significant contributions to the arts as curators at Woodland and as practicing artists, carving pathways for many to follow (like me!)

Nyá:węh gowa to all the artists for sharing your work, and to the community for continuing to support Indigenous arts. Here’s to what the next 50 years will bring! ✨

Thank you to the Ontario Arts Council @ontarioartscouncil and The Brown Homestead @thebrownhomesteadca for supporting this project.

It has been a great honour to work with so many powerful voices, from emerging to lifelong artists. Many of them have inspired my practice as an image maker. I learned so much from the artists, the jurors, and the wonderful team at Woodland Cultural Centre.

In celebrating 50 years, we also carve pathways for the future. Legacy is something we inherit and continue forward. Like the seeds referenced in the title of the companion exhibition, “Tending to the Seeds”, featuring Patricia Deadman and Thomas V. Hill, this legacy grows when nurtured with love. They have made significant contributions to the arts as curators at Woodland and as practicing artists, carving pathways for many to follow (like me!)

Nyá:węh gowa to all the artists for sharing your work, and to the community for continuing to support Indigenous arts. Here’s to what the next 50 years will bring! ✨

Thank you to the Ontario Arts Council @ontarioartscouncil and The Brown Homestead @thebrownhomesteadca for supporting this project.

I can’t believe there’s just one week left of Ascending Horizons! This is co-curated exhibition I had the deep joy of shaping alongside the brilliant Kim Anderson, my dear friend, collaborator and chosen family. This project has been a dream, grounded in Indigenous women’s knowledge, inherent relationships to land, and the futures we continue to build.

It has been one of the greatest privileges to work and learn from these seven extraordinary Indigenous women artists: KC Adams (@adams_kc), Carrie Allison, Judy Anderson (@mizjoodz), Elizabeth Doxtater, Hannah Claus (@cloudmakr), Charlene Vickers (@vickers.charlene), and Marie Watt (@marie_watt_studio). I have admired all of your practices for many years, and throughout this journey I have come to know you as friends, kin, and mentors. Nyá:węh gowa for your generosity, trust, and care. It has meant the world to me ✨

The opening reception is a memory I’ll hold close forever. Even the snowstorm couldn’t dim the joy of visiting together and celebrating the show. Singing women’s songs in a van full of laughter on the way back from a snowy Six Nations shopping trip was heart medicine 🍓

Last pic is of the crew (minus Marie and Betts, who were missed!) Kicking a$$ and taking names!! 👊🏼💥

As Ascending Horizons closes on June 20, my heart is full that this exhibition has resonated with so many. It was created with so much care, and I believe it will continue to move through the world as it was meant to, as an offering of Indigenous women’s brilliance, sparking dreams and visions for futures on the horizon.

This show has been life-changing and a way for me to honour my late mama. I will carry this forever 🩷💐

Catalogue coming soon!!

As Ascending Horizons closes on June 20, my heart is full that this exhibition has resonated with so many. It was created with so much care, and I believe it will continue to move through the world as it was meant to, as an offering of Indigenous women’s brilliance, sparking dreams and visions for futures on the horizon.

This show has been life-changing and a way for me to honour my late mama. I will carry this forever 🩷💐

Catalogue coming soon!!

I can’t believe there’s just one week left of Ascending Horizons! This is co-curated exhibition I had the deep joy of shaping alongside the brilliant Kim Anderson, my dear friend, collaborator and chosen family. This project has been a dream, grounded in Indigenous women’s knowledge, inherent relationships to land, and the futures we continue to build.

It has been one of the greatest privileges to work and learn from these seven extraordinary Indigenous women artists: KC Adams (@adams_kc), Carrie Allison, Judy Anderson (@mizjoodz), Elizabeth Doxtater, Hannah Claus (@cloudmakr), Charlene Vickers (@vickers.charlene), and Marie Watt (@marie_watt_studio). I have admired all of your practices for many years, and throughout this journey I have come to know you as friends, kin, and mentors. Nyá:węh gowa for your generosity, trust, and care. It has meant the world to me ✨

✨ Ascending Horizons ✨

McMaster Museum of Art

Artists: KC Adams (@adams_kc), Carrie Allison (@carrieallisonart), Judy Anderson (@mizjoodz), Hannah Claus (@cloudmakr), Elizabeth Doxtater, Charlene Vickers (@vickers.charlene), Marie Watt (@marie_watt_studio)

This exhibition weaves together ancient and contemporary materialities, creating a space of storytelling and movement across horizons: water, land, sky, and cosmos. It invites audiences to dream, reflect, and imagine new possibilities. Ascending Horizons is where hope is nurtured, futures are envisioned, and meaningful connections are made between the past, present, and what is yet to come.

Nyá:węh gowa for shaping this exhibition with us. I can’t wait to celebrate at the opening reception on Thursday! 💫

Opening Reception:
Thursday January 30th, 5-8pm

Charlene Vickers “Ancestor Sound” Performance:
Friday January 31st, 11am - 12pm

The events are free and everyone is welcome! Hope to see you there 💜

Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts for generously supporting the exhibition.

Time isn’t real. Well, it is, and it isn’t. The sun and moon rise and fall, and stuff happens in between. At the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB), that stuff in between has been happening for fifty years!  Opening Thursday January 16 at 6:30 pm, the exhibition Time Isn’t Real pushes beyond celebratory timestamping and makes space for open discussions on the futurity of art and clay 🔮💫🪐 The gallery is using this half-century celebration of artistic production, cultural festivities, connections, and storytelling as an opportunity to bring multiple generations of 🤩💥 Canadian clay artists together including Alex Jacobs-Blum @alexjacobsblum , Roy Caussy x Glenn Lewis, Gabi Dao @postdao Hannah Faas @hannah.faas Thomas Haskell @tshaskell , Manuel Mathieu @manuelmathieu , Julie Moon @juliemoonceramics , Lindsay Montgomery @lindsay_s_montgomery , Anahita Norouzi @anahita_norouzi ORXSTRA @orxstra_ , Linda Sormin @lindasormin , and Shanie Tomassini @shanietom . It is not a survey or biennale of contemporary ceramics, but a blending (or bending) of time, so that what one might call the past, or understand as the future, can be seen as imagining the now—the now as the future. It works against prescribing us into a unidirectional time trap because the gallery, like clay, is active and our histories are complex and many.  Because srsly what is time in the context of one of the oldest artforms in existence, one comprised of a material that embodies the passing of time itself?  At its core, clay embodies a timeless connection to the Earth, a tangible link between human and non-human worlds via its communion with all the elements—earth, water, air, and fire.

The exhibition’s title is taken from the words and guidance of Kim Wheatly, Ojibwe Anishinaabe Grandmother from Shawanaga First Nation Reserve, who reminds everyone that indoctrinated time is not the only reading or measure of time, and that the natural cycles of the earth and cosmos inform our ways of being.
