Carrie Allison | BEADED BOTANICALS. 2018/19
Beaded Botanicals is a series of seven beaded specimen replicas held by the botany collection of the Museum of Natural History in Halifax, Nova Scotia. These endangered plants of Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia) are intricately replicated to honour each plant. Each plant being is under threat due to development within the territory, reducing its habitat and endangering its existence. During a four-month residency held at the museum Allison completed the Beaded Botanical series. Allison’s practice is centered on exploring the natural world by spending time with each specimen and honouring it by beading it. This series explores making as honouring, beading as ceremony, and thinking through western scientific practices vs. Indigenous ways of knowing. The piece is purposely unfinished to symbolize the near extinction of the species in Mi’kma’ki.
Carrie Allison is a nêhiýaw/Cree, Métis, and European descent visual artist based in K’jipuktuk (Halifax, Nova Scotia).

Little butterfly wings for my Nan :) she had these framed big blue butterflies in her bathroom when I was a kid so seemed appropriate
Teri Greeves | Elk Tooth d’Estrees. 2011
“Gabrielle d’ Estrees was the mistress of King Henry IV of France. She had a sister, or just perhaps a friend who was like a sister, who traveled through life with her. Towards the end of her days the King gave her his coronation ring and the famous painting of her and her sister in the bathtub, with a servant lady in the background doing chores. Elk Tooth d’Estrees is my indigenized interpretation of this painting. And of course, the Gabrielle of my piece is holding Indian "gold” an elk tooth.”
Enrolled with the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, Teri Greeves began beading at eight years old. After growing up on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming where her mother ran a trading post, she eventually graduated from UC Santa Cruz. Greeves began her career as a beadwork artist after winning Best of Show at Santa Fe Indian Market in 1999.
