About
Learn more about the work of Melody Markle in part six of our nine-part video series featuring the artists in our current exhibition ‘Moving Throughlines’. Melody Markle is an Algonquin Anishinaabe artist from Long Point, Winneway First Nation. For generations, her family has shared their artistic gifts through both traditional and contemporary forms, using Woodland style. Quilting is one of the ways she expresses a connection to the land around her. Markle’s work infuses traditional forms into patterns with deep spiritual and historical meaning in Anishinaabe culture. Her star quilts are sewn with prayers and stories that will hopefully continue to hold space for the next generation to thrive.
Video will be posted online one Sunday, October 25, 2020
