Deshkan Ziibi, Antler River, Life. . On Thursday morning, I showed up early for Sunrise and Water ceremony. It was my first time sharing in ceremony, and I am so grateful for the gifts. I received medicine, framework and language that enabled me, once everyone had gone into the museum and I found myself alone with the water, to turn to it and offer a prayer. I prayed, let my presence and the work I am here to do, serve you. Make me humble and open to the medicine you give. . What happened next was a most magical and abundant installation process. Messages of gratitude and intention came into being with each person. Conversations occurred between interested, interesting, and intentional people. I felt healed with each hour I spent outside, breathing, offering myself, participating in creation. . I offer gratitude to those who lead us in ceremony, to Deshkan Ziibi for bringing us all together. I am thankful for Tom Cull, @museumlondon @ldnartscouncil @londonenvironet, Sheri, Tricia, Anita, Rachel, and everyone that wrote a letter. We are all connected, and the river that runs through this city is the same water that runs through each one of us. Acknowledgment and care are required. . 📷 @ironicpointproductions, thank you for documenting the installation so beautifully. I really appreciate it. . . #govote #waterinstallation #gratitude #medicine #deshkanziibi #ldnont #antlerriver #rivertalks #leftysmudges #ricepaper #monotypeprint #publicart #artinstallation #conversationstarters #watereducation #intentionalart

I'm at home today, finishing the last of the prints, getting all the supplies together, and visualizing the installation in place - tied to the tree I picked out, facing Antler River. . You can't let the build up get to you. I know that once I am in place, in the park, down by the water, with all the geese and the ducks, and the people, the anxious feelings will settle. . The postcards are the only other time I've done an installation this size, but that one didn't involve the public. I am so grateful for the opportunity @londonartscouncil @museumlondon #rivertalks. I thank the water we are there to listen to and care for - I hope what we create the next two days serves you. . . #leftysmudges #rivertalks #ldnont #watereducation #artinstallation #waterprotectors #linedpaper #wordstothewater #thankyou #gratitude
