The Ferry Building Gallery is proud to present Tāpis: A Love Letter to Our Dog Kin.

Conceived by Nehiyaw and Michif knowledge keeper, Elder, and multidisciplinary artist Adele ᒪᐢᑿᓱᐤᐃᐢᑵᐤ Arseneau, the exhibition features nine intricately beaded dog blankets, created by Adele ᒪᐢᑿᓱᐤᐃᐢᑵᐤ Arseneau and her students: Dominique Caron, Danielle Courcelles, and Suzan Kostiuck.

This exhibit is a continuation of the journey of reclamation and rebuilding bonds of cultural knowledge. An original reboot of the Tāpis exhibit, it adds three new makers now holding the knowledge of  tāpis/tuppies (dog blankets).

Artist Statement

I've always been drawn to the push and pull between planning and letting go—that moment when a carefully placed line suddenly wants to become something else entirely.

I work with layered gesso, acrylic, oil stick, and graphite, building up surfaces slowly and intuitively. My background is in theatrical backdrop painting and film design, so I tend to think big in terms of scale, atmosphere, and how a space feels when you're standing inside it. That sensibility carries into my studio practice, even when the work is about something much quieter.
