“The Truth Lies Beneath Still Waters“, 20” x 16”
The colored shapes at bottom left represent the plastic and pollution humans are leaving behind. Right bottom, below the land and water: on residential school sites there are many secrets. Today, many archaeological digs will uncover artifacts: stones… bones… pottery. But now….and when perhaps they won’t remember – 100 years from now – they will uncover nuclear waste products, toxic mercury and every other imaginable and unimaginable substance.
Our leaders are Ignorant! Our Leaders are Heartless!
The red spaces represent how little respect Canada has for murdered Indigenous women, buried in dumps! Shame on ALL who know and haven’t tried to do something. Have YOU written a letter of disdain?!
“Shapeshifter“, 30” x 24”
This piece shows how we have built these permanent structures — our homes — on our mother earth. Truth is, our mother earth will support us and allow us to just ‘be’ and to evolve spiritually the way we planned ….until she doesn’t!
“Say No to Pipelines“, 16” x 20”
This shows how some humans have no respect for the gifts that we have been given. They ignore the facts and continue to build these deadly, poisonous snakes… under our life source, water!! We need to wake up! Our birds and animals are changing and suffering!
I have chosen to participate in this project – Truth and Reconciliation – as art is a wonderful way to share thoughts and emotions. This exhibition provides us the opportunity to share information that may have been listened to in the past, but not heard.
There can be NO Reconciliation without the TRUTH. I have shared a bit of truth in my pieces and hope that the viewer will see the Truth and, ideally, may want to start a new narrative within themselves, and to pass on to future generations.
Sherry Crawford has been enjoying the process of creating since childhood. The gravel pit next door, forest behind her home and beach provided opportunities to create drawings with sticks and sandcastles. The gravel pit was perfect for creating life sized human shapes and images. She remembers how she enjoyed making sculptures of mermaids in the huge sand “canvas.” The forest provided the opportunity to create fun spaces for forts This is how you create when you do not have art supplies or even know what an artist is. Looking back, the desire to create has always been a big part of Sherry’s life, including gathering materials and making crafts such as pinecone wreaths.
Sherry started to seriously pursue a career in art in 2010 after meeting an amazing Artist/Museum Curator-Owner/Auctioneer/Gallery Owner who took Sherry under her wings. The result is what we see today.
Sherry has evolved into her style of creating pieces that share images of her Algonquin culture, often incorporating hidden gems that pop out at just the right time. She loves to paint and draw, often surprising herself by the stories and images that appear and seem to paint themselves. She has worked with many mediums, including the Procreate program on her iPad and has created dozens of images, landscapes and abstract pieces. Sherry hopes to continue to evolve and has decided to never hold back on trying new projects or artistic endeavors.
