Artist Statement:
The growth rings on a tree are a record of resilience to the environmental events it has experienced. The sculptures in the KIJIKATIG collection illustrate a unique record of the transformative changes of renewal and preservation of knowledge in both the tree and human experience through carving. Each sculpture holds the stories of Indigenous student resilience, hope, renewal, and preservation of knowledge.
