Picture, Rug Hooking

  • textiles

This work was hooked using nylon stockings by Delza Longman. A label on the back says: “This hooked hanging was done to usher in 2000, it shows three ages. The prehistoric on bottom with the Phoenix rising from the ashes but the flames are more colourful. The central panel shows a sculpture done by one woman – for modern times – and I think that we human beings do often have holes in our heads. The upper panel is the hereafter and I just hope there is a peace dove there.”

The C2 Centre for Craft  is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
