Laura Grier is a D\u00e9l\u0131\u0328n\u0119 First Nations artist and printmaker, born in Somba k\u00e9 and based out of Alberta. Through the use of traditional print mediums, they instrumentalize the power of the handmade to reflect political sociology, culture, environmentalism, and Indigeneity. Responding to lived experiences, Laura\u2019s work is inspired by the dynamism of Indigenous art practices and believes that printmaking is a tool of resistance and a vessel towards Indigenous Bets\u2019\u0131\u0328n\u0119\u0301 (Spirit).

Artist Statement<\/h3>\n

Bets\u2019\u0131\u0328n\u0119\u0301 N\u0119\u0301n\u0119\u0301 Prints<\/p>\n

\u201cSpirituality is a deeper level of knowledge and awareness and it too guides our behaviour. Living fully and successfully in the now world, is dependent upon our understandings and our relationship to the living entities of the upper world. Our lives are regulated by these relationships and maintaining the balance in these relationships is of utmost importance. Our very existence depends on maintaining and respecting these relationships.\u201c \u2013 Fibbie Tatti<\/p>\n

These prints are my gift to the Dene and Saht\u00fagot\u2019\u0131\u0328n\u0119 writers whose work has guided me towards this work, and in a way, back home. Inside each print is a ceremonial mark, a message, an action, and a Dene belief system. I hope these prints can help guide you too. Mahsi Cho<\/p>\n
