Nipple pasties, 2024. Glass beads, rhinestone banding, nylon thread, vinyl, hide, yarn.
Commissioned by the Musée cantonal d’archéologie et d’histoire in Lausanne, Switzerland as an artistic response to a Métis beaded saddle made in the 1820s, part of the exhibition “Autobiographie d’une selle Métis” (curated by Sherry Farrell Racette and Dr. Laura Peers) alongside works by David Heinrichs, Brianna Oversby, Claire Johnston and Jennine Krauchi.
Modelled by my dear friend Crow Hart.
