Description

My home takes care of me. explores the flexibility of geometric forms drawn from lodge liner designs within Blackfoot Confederacy visual culture. Triangular and rectangular structures, symmetry, and colour relationships are extracted and reconfigured into distinct yet related compositions, revealing how design operates through a kind of mathematical logic that can generate multiple outcomes from shared systems. While both My home takes care of me. and its sister work, My home is beautiful., appear abstract, their titles ground them in meaning: for the artist, home is central, and these formal explorations are ultimately shaped by ideas of care and belonging.
