The Ferry Building Gallery is delighted to present Michelle Sound’s solo show Cherish. Michelle Sound’s work explores personal and familial narratives with a consideration of Indigenous artistic processes. Her works explore cultural identities and histories by engaging materials and concepts within a contemporary context.

Through utilizing such practices as drum making, caribou hair tufting, beadwork, painting, and photography, her work highlights that acts of care and joy are situated in family and community. She works with traditional and contemporary materials and techniques to explore maternal labour, identity, and cultural knowledges.

Artist Statement
Each panel is a story, and a short one because it’s only a small work. I see them as visual haikus, Tarot cards, dream fragments. They are complete in themselves—as metaphorical vignettes of my life and as an endless sequence of magical synchronicities. They are images that appear daily in my mind. They are the picture book of my life. They are hung in a random sequence.

Each panel is neither a memory nor an anticipation. It simply reflects the energy of your eyes at the very moment you see it. You give your attention, and in return, it gives you a story of your own.
