Textile and sound installation by Russell Gendron.
The quilts honour intimate, everyday histories while inviting viewers to encounter them through touch, texture and visual association.
Together, the audio and quilts form a constellation of voices, materials and sounds that overlap, contradict and resonate with one another, resisting a singular or definitive account. Through layered sound, material memory and non-linear storytelling, The Mill creates space for multiple ways of knowing, remembering and relating to forestry.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
