Sky Between Original hand-burned, hand-painted artwork on birch canvas, 24" × 24"
Sky Between sits in the meeting place of land and sky, where movement, light, and direction cross. Burned by hand into birch and layered with acrylic paint, the work moves from grounded earth tones into open colour, rising through trees, lines, and sky.
A central moon carries the Mi’kmaq eight-point star, while the lines inside it draw from the look of Mi’kmaq quillwork. Shifts in colour echo the northern lights seen over Epekwitk this winter.
Created slowly and intentionally, the burn lines and paint exist in quiet conversation. The result is a piece that feels steady yet open; grounded in land, always reaching outward.
Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island) is part of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. The Mi’kmaq have lived on and cared for this land for over 12,000 years. We honour the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which recognize Mi’kmaq rights and remind us that our relationship with this land and each other is ongoing. We are all Treaty People.
