Abstract
The Witness Blanket is a large scale, wood based, art installation incorporating over 800 items connected to residential school experiences in Saskatchewan and across Canada. Each item tells a story reflecting the painful legacy of the residential school system. By bearing witness to this tragic past, the artist is hopeful that we will all gain strength by ensuring we honour those that went before us.
