Meryl McMaster | Truth to Power. 2017

Meryl McMaster is a Canadian artist with nêhiyaw (Plains Cree), British and Dutch ancestry based in the city of Ottawa. Her work is predominantly photography based, incorporating the production of props, sculptural garments and performance forming a synergy that transports the viewer out of the ordinary and into a space of contemplation and introspection. She explores the self in relation to land, lineage, history, culture and the more-than-human world.

Meryl McMaster was recently interviewed by Lens Culture, you can find that here: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/meryl-mcmaster-as-immense-as-the-sky?fbclid=IwAR3Uga-aQD_UQwivLdiNjjyWihBHGrIvL6bzeO1cqnW6P3z7zVBKF2rzGf0

I visited the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham over the weekend.I was totally blown away by ‘As Immense as the Sky’.....a photographic exhibition of the work of Canadian artist Meryl McMaster (b1988). She is of the Nehiyawak community (Plains Cree) and a member of the Siksika First Nation (Alberta,Canada) on her father’s side and Euro-Canadian (British and Dutch) on her mother’s. Fashioning elaborate,sculptural garments and props,her performative self-portraits, recently photographed in a variety of dramatic outdoor settings using natural light, present journeys into the realms of her ancestors which are both actual and imaginative.

A new wave of indigenous art is heading for Britain, starting with Native American artists that are attempting to “reverse colonialism” in a show at Birmingham’s Ikon. Slaughter grounds thick with buffalo remains and a savaging of Thanksgiving myths are two of the highlights on display
