Your grid will thank you

Tepkik by Jordan Bennett

Check out Tepkik installation by artist Jordan Bennett:

â€œSuspended in the Winter Garden, artistÂ Jordan Bennettâ€™s site-specific installation intersects his Miâ€™kmaq ancestral and contemporary traditions. In particular, he draws on the Miâ€™kmaq petroglyph which depicts the Milky Way.

Historical references to the land, sky and our galaxy are illuminated by Bennettâ€™s handling of color, both traditional and pop, his interpretation of Miâ€™kmaq quillwork patterns and motifs and the use of contemporary materials.â€
