About

Join Tracey-Mae Chambers as she creates her site specific art installation #hopeandhealingcanada in Oakville. Everyone is welcome to stop by throughout the day.

Tracey-Mae Chambers grew up as a stranger to her own story; adopted and re-named, grafted into a family tree. The discovery in adulthood of her Ojibwa-Metis heritage was a revelation that set her on a path of discovery. Her work is in the powerful tradition of the vessel as metaphor for individuals; we fill and re-fill ourselves throughout life to create our own story.

#hopeandhealingcanada is Tracey-Mae Chamber's reaction to Covid-19 and her hope for healing by reconnecting with other people and our environments. The work illustrates the temporary nature of the pandemic, struggles and achievements and our very existence.
