Joeann Argue Breathe: a mask for pandemic times Artist Statement Having survived, so far, the three Cs - cancer, cardiac, and now covid-19 - I have been thought a lot about breathing. I've been thinking about how often I have to tell myself to breathe through anxiety and how, in these pandemic days, we have to worry about doing just that. The green represents that good clean air we breathe in, but even that comes with tiny bits of danger - the pale green beads close to the mouth. Having had covid-19, I am aware of how much my own breath could be a danger to others - the red beads in the breath. Yet through it all, we still have to breathe. Return

Adele Arseneau Every Bead a Breath Artist Statement Every Bead a Breath Handmade Mask by Adele maskwasowiskwew Arseneau As an indigenous woman, I’ve largely passed through this existence feeling like I have no voice. Most of my art has been focused on creating around the endangered stories of others, to put them up on the proverbial soapbox, making them personable and real. It never occurred to me to tell my own story, with its roots so intertwined with this land now called Canada. All of my portrait carvings reflect this journey, with most of them only having the suggestion of a mouth. My hands do the speaking as they create the pieces I make. Using everything I am given, like my kohkoms before me. Appreciating the materials, and the memories they bring. Each piece is like a reflection, capturing a moment in my life. Beading my anxiety away, each bead a breath. Each stitch sewing me back into my culture, bringing with it remembering, intertwining me with my roots, making me stronger and more whole. Several elements come from family stories, the arrow sash - to remember how my family stood alongside One Arrow and his Nation before the territories became Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Buffalo hide to remember the bull taken at Pink Mountain where my father was Captain of the Hunt. Abalone buttons passed down through the family from mother to daughter, traded from the coast to the prairies, and now returned. Horsehair and flower beadwork to honor my nehiyaw mother and my Métis father. Ocean Jasper and the blue palette - as air and water walk hand in hand and we cannot live without either. Everything has a place in this world, like beads - we do best when we are put where we can shine. It’s all part of a larger picture, this is how something small can impact something larger than ourselves. We all need to tell our stories because someone out there needs to hear them. Adele maskwasowiskwew Arseneau, is an emerging nehiyaw (Cree) - Métis visual artist. Creating traditional and contemporary beadwork, along with carving red and yellow cedar - she tells stories to engage audiences around social and environmental issues. This is her language and these are her stories. Return

Moore, of Banff, six famous artists have donated original paintings which went on display here Wednesday in the Bow River writing room of the Banff Springs hotel. The contributing artists are Carl Rungius, of New York and Banff, known as the best American painter of big game animals; Belmore Brown, Roland Gissing, Peter Whyte, Roland Jackson, and Nicholas deGrandmaison. The Rungius painting shows a moose in a Rockies' landscape; Jackson's canvas is of American widgeons in flight; Brown depicts a mountain camp; Gissing's is an impression of Ghost River Valley, Whyte's is a view of Mount Assiniboine, and deGrandmaison offers a spirited portrait of an Indian. The Banff Spitfire committee reports unusual interest in the paintings, especially by guests at the Banff Spring hotel. Each of the artists has achieved an authoritative standing in his own special field.

Joely BigEagle-Kequahtooway Buffalo, Resilience, Breathe Artist Statement I am a multi-disciplinary artist and I created this mask from buffalo parfleche. My husband, Lorne and I work with buffalo hides to create parfleche and robes. I painted my version of crocuses and buffaloes. I stitched the two parfleche pieces together using red sinew and ribbon. The inside of the mask is lined with red buffalo leather. Maria Linklater shared a story about how when a baby buffalo is born a crocus sprouts up in the spot where the baby buffalo belly button drops. I love this story and incorporate crocuses with my buffalo whenever I can. I love using red because it reminds me of strong, resilient Indigenous women and it is associated with passion and fire.
