Join artist Faye HeavyShield and Georgiana Uhlyarik, Fredrik S. Eaton Curator, Canadian Art, AGO, as they celebrate the opening of Faye HeavyShield: Issokawo'taan.

Faye HeavyShield, recipient of the 2021 Gershon Iskowitz Prize at the AGO, has for more than three decades created powerful installations and sculptures, characterized by repeating forms and motifs, including spirals, circles, grids, and lines. Drawing from personal experience, her work reveals a deep relationship with the land, in particular the Kainai (Blood) Nation in Southern Alberta where she grew up and where she still lives.
