Beaded Temporalities

Size 8 beads on a found branch, 2020.

 

This land-based piece is the creative result of an embodied exploration of visiting methodology. Centring Dylan Miner’s Methodology of Visiting and Janice Gaudet’s concept of Keeoukaywin: The Visiting Way, along with other supporting decolonizing methodologies, this piece is a visual embodiment of my relationships with my family, ancestors, and my home. It is a collaborative piece beaded using peyote stitch by my family and me during the first Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in the Spring of 2020.
