Erin Suliak: Vinok – Gathered in the North
This exhibition brings together twelve contemporary vinky—traditional Ukrainian floral wreaths—reimagined using materials gathered in and around Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Created by Erin Suliak, who lives in Yellowknife, the works draw on Ukrainian cultural traditions while responding to the specific conditions of the North. Each wreath is rooted in a particular site, incorporating materials collected there: lichen, bark, feathers, and increasingly, plastic, metal, and other industrial debris.
The exhibition also includes photographs of the artist wearing the vinky in the landscapes where their materials were gathered, connecting the works back to place.
