I threw in a couple of my Sir John A Macdonald pieces for contrast. I usually show Louis and John together at an exhibition.
These are a few samples of work created with Louis Riel as the subject matter. The fact that he stood up to the man, against all odds, I believe is the main reason for my fascination with Louis Riel. I see him as our Ché Guevara. My work focuses on history and cultural traits. Clothing, architecture, ethnicity, spirituality and religion, history, politics and social rituals are at the core of my practice.
