created for the exhibition: Entanglements (2022)
Curated by Celina Jeffery and Ryan Stec/Artengine, Ottawa Art Gallery
This installation focuses on 'akikodiwan' (aka Chaudiere Falls) and the plight of the freshwater eels, whose population has declined by estimates of 98% due to human encroachment and other environmental distresses. In an effort to collaborate with the eels who have inhabited kitche zibi (aka the Ottawa river) since time immemorial, the I worked with an interspecies communicator to solicit the willingness of the eels to express how they would like to be depicted and what they wanted humans to remember about how their livelihood is directly in relation to our wellbeing.
The title is both in nêhiyawêwin (Cree language) and anishinaabemowin (Anishinaabe language) and 'nipawiwin... ohci' refers to the solidarity of 'standing with/for' the eels at the place called 'akikodjiwan' (that is translated as 'pipebowl'). Pimizi (pimisi, mizay, misay) is the anishinaabemowin term for freshwater eel.

Forty Blocks (1994) is a music video which chronicles a Metis woman's journey from a home, where as a child she was abused, across town to her Kokum's house where she was never allowed to go. The journey and the song it inspires are healing, as she reclaims her connection to her culture, her blood and the earth. "this dance on earth, my lifelong search, a right to passage within the arms of my Kokom."
