@danaclax: In my Headdress series, currently installed in AGGV’s Adorned exhibition, the personal collections of three womxn are featured: Connie, matriarch of beadwork, adorns her own hand beaded pieces; Dee and myself wear pieces of the same inter-tribal collection made by beaders from the four directions. In these portraits, the beadworks cover and espouse the womxn’s silhouettes, becoming more than just objects: the beadworks are cultural belongings, and the womxn are cultural carriers.
