Eva Birhanu, Lauren Chipeur, Star Crop Eared Wolf, Grace Wirzba: The Chisel and the Oak Beam

Opening Receptions for The Chisel and the Oak Beam and <inter/dependent> | May 13 | 7 PM

The Chisel and the Oak Beam considers a duality in the practices of four artists based in Treaty 7 Territory of Southern Alberta, that of the tactile pleasures of creation and the political potentials present when refashioning material. Each artist reckons with how their respective medium of weaving, ceramics, beading, and textiles is shaped by its own material history.
