"Growing up in northern Manitoba my entire world was influenced by the Cree culture in which I was immersed.  As a young girl, on one of many trips up the Churchill River, I saw my first pictographs drawn on stone outcroppings high above the waterline, and yet so far down from the land that sat on top of it that I wondered how anyone could reach that space to draw in our time, never mind thousands of years ago.

This place north of 56 where I learned to survive in the wilderness as part of my public education; where we came together to celebrate the Winter Carnival, racing in snowshoes, baking bannock, watching the dog sled races; where we were raised to nurture nature.  I never wanted to leave.

And now, I have finally found a way to fill the hole left in my heart when I left the north.  This work, each piece both a representation of and also physically a sacred vessel for me, is filled with the images, colours and symbols of my memory."
