I think it is pretty appropriate that on Loving Day, I have sold two paintings that explore my Ojibwe identity. Thank you for the love and support.
Both paintings are from the Double-Universe Topology series. In this series, I was thinking about what it is like to present, and be perceived, one way while identifying another. Living with an identity duality or multiplicity that creates tension within the history of our flawed society. The suppression of family heritage for whatever reason. Or opting out of embracing an identity as an injurious, subconscious coping mechanism for avoiding offending family.
