The Orillia Museum of Art & History is hosting a single day art installation.
Hope and Healing is an outdoor, temporary artwork created by Hamilton based artist Tracey-Mae Chambers using a single red string.
The installation will be created over the course of 8-10 hours tomorrow (Friday), documented and then deconstructed.
This single red string is then reused in the next installation creating no waste, and leaving behind no traces.
As a proud member of the Metis Nation of Ontario, Tracey-Mae states that Hope and Healing“addresses the slur against Indigenous peoples” and also the devastating effects of COVID-19 and mental health.
She says “The red string represents danger and power, but also courage and love.”.
Tracey-Mae will begin her installation at 9am on August 27 on the front steps of OMAH, and will complete the project during Friday evening’s See You on the Patio Event for 9 pm.
Please stop by, visit the artist and talk about this powerful artwork. To learn more about Tracey-Mae and this project, visit her website by clicking here.
