Man with head of a Sun, acrylic on canvas 65 x 73 inches 2020
This was inspired by my ancestral grandfather Ogema - Chief Shingwaukonse, Little Pine of gGarden River. I was raised to follow his teachings, passed on by my mother. Shingwaukonse’s spirit name means “Man with head of a Sun”, I painted this image of his traditional name in pictograph style floating in space. He was Chief and also a powerful spiritual leader, he travelled to the stars before making important decisions to guide the Anishinaabek.
