Description
Coalesce by Barry Ace juxtaposes and integrates Western technological discarded materials with Anishinaabeg material culture, such as glass beads and porcupine quills, to create objects that reject any notions of cultural stasis. By mixing disparate materials, Ace demonstrates the continuum of Anishinaabeg innovation and expression, which knowingly coalesce and segue seamlessly into contemporary Anishinaabeg artistic tradition.
