Krystle Silverfox
Part of the Land
At Macaulay + Co.
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 6, 4-7pm
March 6 – April 19, 2025
In partnership with Capture Photo Festival
Part of the Land is a series of photos which use analogue collage and beading to stitch back together images of landscapes. The title of the work, Part of the Land, is inspired by the book Part of the Land, Part of the Water: A History of the Yukon Indians, by Catharine McClellan. The title is also an acknowledgement of parts: blood quantum percentages, land allotments, land stewardship, and missing parts of culture. This series pays homage to the connections we have to the land through acts of care – beading – to reconnect broken links.
