SUMMARY:ᐃᔨ – Eyes – Shirley Moorhouse
DESCRIPTION:“My artwork speaks from my lived experience as it connects ou
 twards to my family\, community\, all living creatures\, the Earth\, and th
 e Universe.” – Shirley Moorhouse\n\nWhen she was born\, Shirley Moorhou
 se’s maternal Grandmother\, Anana\, named her ᐃᔨ (E-Ye-I) in Inuktitu
 t\, meaning Eyes. As a young child\, she watched her extended family create
  many items of form\, function\, and beauty. She has been creating her own 
 artwork for over 30 years\, driven by curiosity and a desire to share her s
 tories.\n\nThis exhibition showcases Moorhouse’s innovative art practice\
 , from her earliest pieces to new and recently restored artworks. Moorhouse
  is renowned for her distinctive wall hangings\, which incorporate embroide
 ry\, beading\, and smoke-tanned caribou hide\, along with unconventional ma
 terials and found objects. Her vibrant imagery delves into complex themes\,
  including environmental stewardship\, resource extraction\, geopolitics\, 
 spirituality\, and cultural continuity. Through her work\, Moorhouse also e
 xtends the invitation “to reflect\, to dream\, and to celebrate the beaut
 y and mysteries of life.”\n\nᐃᔨ – Eyes – Shirley Moorhouse\nReali
