“In our traditional teachings First Nation women have a sacred connection to water.  This woman carries the sacred water in a pre-contact pottery vessel, made by her own hands, created with riverbank clay. As she pours this blessed water the flowers grow with all of Creation’s love.” - Leah Dorion

KC Adams creates an installation that highlights the Anishinaabe teachings towards nibi (water). Once considered a lost art, she embarked upon a journey to learn the techniques of her ancestors on making these vessels. She followed the ancient methods, foraging the clay from ancient Lake Agassiz, shaping the pots like swell of a pregnant belly and firing the pots in a pit fire. A video of the sparkling sun on the waters of Lake Winnipeg is projected on the floor. The vessel sits atop stand from the land and is surrounded by grandfather rocks.
