This Abstracted Depiction of the Female Body, Phases of the Moon, Floral Imagery and Clouds, is a Variation of a Motif That the Artist Has Been Making and Remaking for Several Years. Vanessa Dion Fletcher Has Adapted it For Printmaking, Painting and Site-Specific Installations as a Method of Exploring New Visual Languages, Along With the Potential of the Female Body and Human Relationships to the Natural World. Here With Skills Acquired Through Brenda Lee’s Teachings, The Image is Rendered in Materials That Represent Time-Honored Craft Traditions and Deep Symbolism With Connections to The Land and The Artist’s Community. The Bark Was Gifted to Her by Friends in Sioux Lookout, Ontario; The Quills Are Harvested From The Porcupine That Brenda Lee and She, Processed Together.
