I curated “Nay Chem Was The Talking Stick Exhibition," Roundhouse Art Centre Feb 2012, 8 Indigenous Artists
My at I inclued was: THE MASSACRE PAINTING Acrylic on canvas 58 x 72 2012, A metaphor of all massacres afflicted on Indigenous people in colonial history. In Paris in 2010 I saw the exhibition Crime et Châtiment (Crime and Punishment) at Musée d'Orsay. I began to reflect on what I knew to be a crime, Genocide. What was the punishment for this crime to my nation, to other nations, to Indigenous people in colonial history in our homelands. Collection Woodland Museum, Brantford ON
The Talking Stick is sacred, it symbolises wisdom and honour to Indigenous people of the Americas as a means of communication at ceremonies and important meetings. The speaker who holds the Talking Stick has the right to speak, the people respect this and must remain silent. The Talking Stick holds a power that calls up the spirit of our ancestors to guide the holder to speak the truth.
“Nay ChemWas The Talking Stick Exhibition," I selected 9 Indigenous Artists from across Canada, I designed the installation in a giant circle in a 3000 ft space. Artists selected: Rebecca Belmore, Peter Morin, Charlene Vickers, Michelle Sylliboy, Rick Harry, Dionne Paul, Lance Cardinal, Janice Toulouse

Summer of 2017, my outdoor studio/ atelier in the south of France. So many years of painting here, I first arrived in 1983. The original studio is across the field, it was damaged during a storm, so all that remains is the old stone walls and our cherished memories..
