Project Description

Flowers made with dyed fish scales; I call these ones “The Goddess & The Girl.” The left side represents the beautiful woman inside & out, complex, graceful & worthy of living, loving & being loved. The vamp on the right represents playfulness, cuteness & being dainty. Qualities of both many Indigenous women possess. It’s a freedom piece that embraces the right to be feminine.

For fun, I lined the edges with colourful pastel beads that remind of those sweet candy necklaces that I loved as a child & as a woman.

May those who have gone on rest in the joy of being beautiful inside & out.
