During the month of May, the Trane studio will be exhibiting a series of work by Plains Cree multi-media sculptress Jude Norris.

The brilliantly coloured, three dimensional wall pieces in Jude Norris’s scar series combine physical ‘evidence’ of ritual with intense fields of colour to produce deeply emotive abstract works. 

In these works on canvas, each artwork’s surface is ‘wounded’ – i.e. slashed - and then painstakingly ‘healed’ with sinew stitching. Sometimes this 'scar' is embellished with carved sticks that pierce the canvas's surface along its length, simultaneously representing elements of repair, security, trial, ceremony, and adornment. 

The choice and use of colour is also designed to express and evoke different emotional responses - and reference personal and universal elements of healing process. The sinew fissures may also be read as seams - helping create structures that provide shelter and/or safety.

The visually bold, simple and even celebratory presentation of these scars promotes a similar attitude towards ourselves and our inherent wounds and weaknesses - symbolizing passage through trial, both individual and communal, by choice or circumstance – to a place of greater experience, strength, and acceptance.
