I have been transforming this piece for a decade. Now it feels complete. The lake shape and tributaries are from a vintage map of Buffalo Lake near Stettler, Alberta, a well known historical Metis settlement. I love that the map cartographer took liberties when recording the shape of the lake to make it appear more Buffalo-like! Jacques Cardinal recorded my ancestors wintering over at this location in the late 1800’s. This piece is acrylic, charcoal and e-sized beadwork on deer hide.
