</h4>
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">For this narrative of the impact of Europeans on the first people of the Salish Sea I have referenced the work of Charlene George, kQwat'st'not, T'Sou-ke, First Nations artist and teacher. I am also indebted to her for giving me, in gentle understatement, </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: justify;"> new insights into “<i>the period before the visitors came</i>” when “<i>the circle was in balance</i>” and into “<i>the great giveaway</i>”.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: justify;">I have also been influenced by the work of lessLie, an acclaimed Coast Salish artist, whose “colonized, Catholic, Canadian” name is Leslie Robert Sam. </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; text-align: justify;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">As a descendant of white settlers, I would like to bring 'Impact' to the attention of as many people as possible as a way of doing my small part to promote conversations about the harsh realities of our shared history. 'Impact' grew from my response to that history of loss - loss of culture, language, livelihood and life. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(The loss of life through disease is represented by the small pox virus.) </span></span><br />

'Impact I'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When this version of 'Impact' was first shown in art shows in 2012 and 2014, I had a number of conversations with interested viewers. Those conversations were very rewarding for me and I remember them all with much gratitude. There was one comment, however, that was especially memorable. "It's not nearly broken enough."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Forward to the spring of 2015 when an appropriate juried show came to my attention. I entered 'Impact' and was delighted and honoured when it was accepted. The night before the show opened, however, the hand of fate intervened. During the hanging of the artwork, 'Impact' fell to the floor and was in no state to be shown. I brought it home and reassembled it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can now show it in its new, more meaningful form. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #7f7f7f; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Texture fascinates me. I use natural objects such as seedpods, bones, lichen, and dried cactus skins, often mingled with bits and pieces from my obsolete computer, to create texture on slabs. It’s fun to see high tech markings dance in tandem with organic texture and come alive in the material of one of the oldest technologies on earth.</span></span>Marlene Bowmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14192173650660331334noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33960323.post-519672561512509472010-03-02T22:21:00.000-08:002015-05-04T16:32:01.244-07:00'Glowing Forest'<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
