Chapter 8: "Sans titre (Henry Moore, Reclining Figure et Vertebrae)" Part 1: This chapter describes part 1 of Sans titre by Melanie Myers, made in 2022-23. It is two minutes long. In front of you is a set of two free-standing French doors one and a half metres apart. The artist has constructed them using papier mâché, and they are roughly the size of real doors: a little more than half a metre by 2 metres. On the backside, Myers has used pencil crayon to draw wood grain, but on the front, there is nothing so ordinary: it holds a beautifully drawn surface of a lake with lily pads floating on it. Behind the doors, through this portal, are two drawings on top of one another: the lower is a continuation of the shallow water with tree branches sticking out of the water, and ducks floating on the surface, partially hidden by the branches. Above is a triptych of the opposite shore of the lake, complete with a dense wooded area and thick red and orange undergrowth. Myers has drawn the details

Chapter 16: "Plans for Tee-pee at the First Native Business Summit": This chapter describes Plans for Tee-pee at the First Native Business Summit by Bob Boyer, created in 1986, measuring 38 by 50 cm. It is two and a half minutes long.  We are now at the back of the gallery, the top of the “L.” This ink and watercolour drawing is a diagram of the outside and inside of a teepee, flattened across a horizontal white piece of paper. A teepee is a conical tent structure, typically made with canvas (or animal hides) and stretched across a framework of wooden poles. It is primarily used by Indigenous peoples of the prairies.  Here, Boyer has drawn the front and side view of the teepee in the top half of the composition: three triangles touch at the bottom corners. At either end, a rectangular tab has been added and labeled “cut and fold and ??,” similar to a paper model. The design includes a red zigzag line along the bottom, with green underneath. There are two eagles, wings outstretched, on

Chapter 33: "flower abstraction (elongated) 1, 2, 3": This chapter describes flower abstraction (elongated) 1, 2, 3 by Marigold Santos, made in 2022 and measuring four metres high. There is a tactile version of this drawing. It is labeled “6.” This chapter is a minute and half long. In this artwork, Marigold created an enlarged vinyl version of a black drawing of three imagined flowers. They snake up the wall of the gallery vertically, reaching the level of the balcony above. In the tactile version of this drawing, you can feel the stems, petals and leaves. Each flower has at least three distinct parts, bottom, middle and top, and the stems zig zag in different sections, before separating off into small blooms of various shapes and sizes.  The designs have very bold linework and are very stylized. The flowers appear to be surreal or otherworldly. Santos is also a tattoo artist, and these black graphics recall a flash sheet, which tattoo artists use to display pre-designed creations. Th

Chapter 20: "Summer Landscape": This chapter describes Summer Landscape by Kazuo Nakamura, created in 1954, and measuring 39 by 57 cm. It is a minute long.  This drawing is hung above another landscape watercolour drawing by John Esnor. In Nakamura’s drawing, the artist used staccato brushstrokes of watercolour pigments to create a minimal, almost abstract, landscape scene of two trees standing on the left in a grassy field. Bright greens, vivid teal-tinged blues and hints of ochre are used to depict the leaves, grasses and smaller trees in the background.  Water makes the colourful brushstrokes feather out, as it soaks into the thick paper. It mimics the haze of summer heat that can sometimes blur your perception. Was the artist standing in this field while he painted it, the short and messy brushstrokes reflecting his rush to capture the colours and light of this view? Much of the page is left unfilled, and there are no details about the specific location.  To hear more about this wo

Chapter 24: "You should be a part of us": This chapter describes a series of six drawings entitled You should be a part of us by Gayle Uyagaqi Kabloona, made in 2023. Each drawing is on a horizontal piece of paper measuring 25 x 35 cm. There is a tactile version of part of this drawing. It is labeled “4.” This chapter is two minutes long.  There are six black ink drawings in Kabloona’s series “You should be a part of us,” hung in a row on the gallery wall. In each, bubble letters of text in both Inuktitut and English appear above and below a line drawing of an object from the artist’s home.  As you progress along the drawings, it reads: When I was growing up, people asked “What are you?” that said “you don’t belong (you’re not part of us.)” In Nunavut, Inuit asked, “Inuugaviit?” that said “Do you belong with us?” (you should be a part of us). The drawings are of objects used in everyday Inuit life. In the first drawing there is a collection of ulus, or curved women’s knives, used for c
