This limited edition work on paper by Marie Watt is part of a call and response with Watt’s monumental sculpture Vivid Dream (Awakening). The sculpture features thousands of hand sewn metal jingles, a common Indigenous garment accessory traditionally fashioned out of the rolled metal tops of tobacco cans and other tin containers. “They are grounded in Indigenous Histories of making and storytelling, adornment and ritual,” says Watt. “Here they hover between the sky and the earth. Simultaneously heavy and weightless, the jingles nudge and tap each other, creating murmurs of sound when animated by a breeze. They amplify each other’s stories, reverberating with each passing movement.”
