Wisdom: A Path or Gap Among the Trees
An exhibit in the Thunder Bay Art Gallery explores the career of Jason Baerg — a Métis visual artist, activist, fashion designer, and OCAD professor based in Toronto — who has brought Indigenous culture to the forefront throughout his three-decade long career.
“When I think about that, I think about growing up on the North Saskatchewan River and playing with my siblings and my cousins out there on the water and yeah, there were lots of trees on the North Saskatchewan River,” he said. Baerg said that he was born into a creative family and was taught to draw and sew by his mother who Baerg said surrounded him with creativity.
“She worked with colour, she worked with large prints, and she actually also was quite a character and very charismatic in her own right, and she definitely was a bit of a fashionista, so I guess I would draw, creative influence from my mother, so that's where it started.”
