Gawain Alisha Ndizhichigesii by Patricia Ningewance

Patricia Ningewance 

“The textile art of Patricia Ningewance deserves a special title, and like the word “manidoomin” is an animate verb to describe the “spirit berries” used in beadwork, perhaps “manidoo waubwun” might be close. These are truely spirit blankets, viewed from a distance they come alive, in photographs the viewer is hard pressed to tell if it’s a painting or some other representation of nature and story. Up close your eye is taken in with detail and use of various materials to create these textured portraits.”
