Métis is not a bad word - november 29th 2023 at 21:00

half-breed pretendian "but your eyes are so blue?" when i bleed it comes out red will you be satisfied once i'm covered in wounds?

seven generations? what about my children and their children too? not indigenous enough or just not indigenous enough to you? i speak more of the language than nookomis ever could i do it to honour her you don't get to tell me if i should i started beading at 13 thankful to at least be cultured in my hands but still afraid i was too pale to ever claim this was my land proud i'll be the day when my spirit name is carried by the winds how sad my ancestors will be to learn my cousins think my identity is half-sin

petrolia - oak savanna (2023)

oil pastel

it was such an honour to make this piece for my friend tys’ documentary!! as i worked i thought a lot about the presence of oil in my life, about the industry of extraction and export but also it’s precolonial uses. the pastels i used are likely petrolium based, as are many things we don’t think about and simply consume.

[Content ID: Art of four original characters for Fire Emblem Three Houses. On the left there is a woman riding a blond horse with her arms around a child in her lap. On the right there is a man with an older child held on his shoulders. They stand on a snow packed road beside a snowbank against a light blue sky with a pale sun in the upper right corner. /End ID]

Some rambling and more close-ups below the cut!

There's a lot going on here! The man on the right is Almanzor, a Blaiddyd Bastard oc (unrecognized son of Rufus Blaiddyd). It must be an early or mid spring day for him and this little family to be so inconsistent with how bundled up they are.

While Al grew up in Fhirdiad, in most post-canon settings he ends up finding his way to Gautier where he meets Peregrine and her daughters, Apolline and Huguette. This would be my justification for why he's so much more swaddled than their lighter clothing.

Peregrine was once a soldier in service to House Gautier, who left with Miklan during the theft of the Lance of Ruin. Widowed during the war, Peregrine grows into a very protective woman with regards to her children and her people. These details inspired the color palette, with Sylvain being so distinctively red and teal (and Faerghal blue).

Almanzor was a paladin during the war, and to his great shame, one of the Fhirdiad soldiers who was ousted during Cornelia's rise to power. Still he fought for the Kingdom, and would have taken pride in reconnecting with Dimitri's forces. These details informed the color of his horse, who I'm tentatively calling Buttercream, and the repurposed blue cords holding the furs around Al's feet, and the yellow fabric of Buttercream's headcollar.

This scene is: They're headed into town, primarily for business related to Peregrine's mercenary company, so Peregrine is trying to look presentable in the bluest thing she owns. Apolline has been allowed to sleep into the late morning, after being awoken early for the journey. Huguette, on Al's shoulders, is asking for something frivolous only available in town, and Al, who knows the answer is no, is telling her to, "Ask your mother." Huguette turns doe eyes on her mother, who is unimpressed (affectionate) with both of them.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?“

“Why would it not be?”

“Knowing Chronos he’s more than likely relaxing by himself or with his children.”

“And Métis is… somewhere, more than likely goofing off with other Pokémon.”

“It would just be a waste of everyone’s time and an annoyance of their space…”

“Already done. They’ll be here soon.”

get on your knees for Otipemisiwak Fantasy Husband (2022-2023)

Wasakamapiwak is a collective of 11 Indigenous artists living and working in Treaty 7 territory including: Danielle Piper, Jasmine Piper, Staci Duchene-Wolfe, Sarah Whalen Lunn, Sikapinakii Lowhorn, Matthew Hiltermann, Riel Starr, Melrene Saloy-EagleSpeaker, Amber Boyd, Melissa Victor, and Faith Starlight.

We are a varied group, but the thread which binds this collective is an engagement with creating wearables; either in part or wholly. Our collective aims to bring a diverse group of artists together to connect and learn from one another, finding new ways to collaborate and incorporate new techniques into our own practices. We are committed to diverse representation across indigenous cultures, age, training and discipline. We believe in the strength and growth which emerges from the gathering of different perspectives and experiences. 

ᐊᐧᓴᑲᒪᐱᐊᐧᐠ wasakamapiwak is a nehiyawewin (cree language y-dialect) word, meaning "they all sit in a circle".

Posting some old art to keep track of it. I really enjoyed painting this, except for the bricks. That was nonsense.
