The print portrays an individual with their back towards the viewer. The source image belongs to a larger group of portraiture work embarked upon in 2019. The figure in these prints can be any gender and to some extent, any ethnicity. A prairie lily, the provincial flower of Saskatchewan, is embroidered into the back of the shirt. In this print, the individual has turned their back towards the viewer; referencing settler-Indigenous relations in the Saskatchewan judicial system.
           
For the artist; braids represent strength, culture and spirituality. Combing and braiding hair implies care, companionship and skill. Hair has long been a battleground for the church & settler power structures. In this way, braiding, washing or not washing, hair has become an act of resistance for Indigenous People.

Bullseyes are embossed into the some of the prints, referencing gun violence towards Indigenous Peoples.  

​

A series of mixed media proofs from each edition have been made into unique works of art. 

Some of these mixed media proofs have been incorporated into a brass frames that were cast on site, by the artist, at locations in the prairies where atrocities to Indigenous People occurred. The frames are made by melting discarded bullet shells and pouring the molten metal into a ‘soil’ cast in the ground. Remnants of the soil and stones from the casting process are embedded into the brass frame carrying the weight and memory intrinsically held by the earth. The use of brass bullets further emphasizes gun violence towards Indigenous People.
