Beaded Temporalities

Size 8 beads on a found branch, 2020.

This land-based beaded work is the material result of an embodied exploration of Dylan Miner’s Methodology of Visiting and Janice Gaudet’s concept of Keeoukaywin: The Visiting Way. Beaded in collaboration with my family at our kitchen table during the first Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in the Spring of 2020, this piece visually and materially represents ways of visiting and the series of relationships I carry with my family, ancestors, and home.
