From Flower to Berry

Artist

Deb Malcolm

Description

The Metis people hold the strawberry in high regard. Calling it the heart Berry, it symbolizes the importance of the role of women in a matriarchal society. As the vine grows, with the help of the bees, the flower drops its petals to reveal the tiny berry that continues to grow into the beauty at the end. Paint dots mimic beading, an important pastime in the Metis culture.
