Inde Wiisagedam (My Heart Hurts)
Solo Exhibition by Laura Youngbird at All My Relations Arts Gallery
On View: July 14th – September 9th, 2023
Inde Wiisagendam (My Heart Hurts) is a solo exhibition by Laura Youngbird (Minnesota Chippewa, Grand Portage Band). Using the dress as a metaphor, her work addresses a wide range of social issues, injustices and biases. Through mixed media — combining drawing, painting and prints — Laura explores the dress as a consistent and important symbol in her work, as this simple garment contains layer upon layer of meaning. The works in this series examine mixed emotions and themes such as common thread, loose ends, and threadbare.
