Mackenzie Wood
Gallery Assistant/Communications and Engagement
As perhaps most people are, I was initially drawn to First Nations art for its confident composition and colour. But I was soon further drawn in by a magnitude that offers something far greater than what is suggested visually. I had to know more — as much as I could, in fact — about the culture(s) that inform these artistic expressions. And the more I learn, the more I'm drawn intellectually and viscerally to the diversity, complexity and fortitude of Indigenous cultural expression. It's magnetic.”
