Lii Shenn 1000pc Compact Puzzle
Entwined florals; mirrored design; and depicting life stages evoke the beautiful glass beadwork and quillwork of the artist’s ancestors; the Métis Flower Beadwork People. The red ribbon encircling the work honours the Métis gifting tradition; representing that the recipient is held in great esteem. The species are native to; or entirely dependent on; garry oak meadows; an endangered habitat. This piece celebrates a whole-system perspective; combining historical human design with the ecosystems that carry us along our ways.
A Note from the artist: “I have chosen to incorporate my Michif language for painting titles when I am able. My Grandmother spoke a little of the Cree-Michif; and Chinook trade language of her family and so I am making an effort to help language revitalization at home and in community.”
