Medium:
Acrylic paint and paper collage on deep canvas
Description:
This past week I found another photo of My Great x3 Grandmother (Mrs Chief Harry), in the North Vancouver Archives. She is sitting on a front step with Sophie and Jimmy Frank.
The understanding has been soaking into me that, from her time forward, we never had roots or a home.
I like to imagine this is maybe what one of the longhouses looked like, sitting near the beach, full of good food, with a backdrop of thick trees. It feels very peaceful to me, even though it is maybe the saddest painting I have ever made.
