ABSTRACT

This MFA research is a practice of world building through the merging of Anishnaabe cosmology and quantum physics theories and while looking to the cosmos in wonderment, it remains grounded in Anishnaabe Kwe, Bear Clan worldview. The works and research reaches for, gathers, carries and shares pieces of familial memory, stories and acts of care shaped by the ever good which is inspired by a phrase my grandmother, Theresa McCraw always said, “Ever good!” The result is works presented precisely as they are. The written works (including this paper) and gallery exhibition components explore from within a metaphorical possibility: Is Sky Woman still falling? Is humanity falling together, through and inside a black hole?
