ᐃᔨ - Eyes - Shirley Moorhouse

“My artwork speaks from my lived experience as it connects outwards to my family, community, all living creatures, the Earth, and the Universe.” – Shirley Moorhouse

This exhibition showcases 30 years of Shirley Moorhouse’s innovative art practice, from her earliest pieces to new and recently restored artworks. Moorhouse is renowned for her distinctive wall hangings, which incorporate embroidery, beading, and smoke-tanned caribou hide, along with unconventional materials and found objects. Her vibrant imagery delves into complex themes, including environmental stewardship, resource extraction, geopolitics, spirituality, and cultural continuity. Through her work, Moorhouse also extends the invitation “to reflect, to dream, and to celebrate the beauty and mysteries of life.”
