February-April 2025

BC Places and Sacred Spaces.

The artwork in this show is Transformational, both literally and figuratively. Many of the artworks take more than one form, and have the ability to change to tell a different story. The artworks are in collections that easily stand alone on their own, but, when combined, as is done in this first -ever full exhibit, they tell of a personal journey of Transformation and Healing.

James Darin Corbiere is Aanishinaabe from the Great Lakes region, living on Vancouver Island. A former police officer and secondary school teacher, James is the creator of the Truth in Truth and Reconciliation Board Game (published by Medicine Wheel Publishing) and the writer and illustrator of DeD-C-Comics.

His Authentic, Original, Indigenous artworks are in the eastern Woodlands style from the Great Lakes region of Canada, and are created using Ink and Copper on White Ash Wood. Showcasing both original art and full-sized prints, comic books, and a board game, 50+ works represent seven years of artist accomplishments. This exhibit features QR codes that link to an immersive, storytelling video.

If you hunger for an artistic feast, come to the show. See the art. Smell the wax and the wood. Listen to the stories. Come experience Eastern Woodland Art.
