The Art Story: Three Generations Lana Whickeyjack is a Cree artist from Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta. She said, "I began this series after a very challenging time in my life, when I realized how much the intergenerational trauma of Indian residential schools affected me and my relations. This trauma ruptured my inherent strength and my connection to the wombs I came from. When I feel stuck in those dark moments, I go to my ceremony of creating. I smudge, pray, pick up a paintbrush and transform my pain into a teaching. Each painting in the series represents a connection of a grandmother, mother and daughter. This painting represents the connection of my grandmother, mother and me, as I need to see them - blanketed by love, security and strength in spite of the trauma of residential schools. During the process of creating this series, my vision changed from one of trauma to resilience, with the final painting of me as a grandmother with my daughter and granddaughter." - Bailey (2017) make me a art work that can represent this with the photo I’ll be attaching which is a cut down tree of the inside of the tree bleeding as a way of showing generations of trauma and hurting and a missing poster of a indigenous women with her face covered red as a means of no identity and generate a art work or painting of the info given as well as with the photo given as well See more
