What makes a home? Should we understand it as simply architectural elements upon the land? Or might a relative’s warm embrace, or drawers full of your favorite clothes, or the sounds and smells of home-cooked meals define the home? Created by Duane Linklater while mourning a personal loss, what grief conjures offers a thoughtful meditation on the meaning of home informed by the artist’s Omaskêko Cree perspective. Each of the materials Linklater used to construct this sculpture carries its own meaning, which then transforms based on new adjacencies forged by the structure. Now covered in white house paint, these tipi poles once lived as saplings near Linklater’s home in North Bay, Ontario. The tipi offers shelter for items within, including a refrigerator like that from Linklater’s childhood home. Its position on a shipping pallet illuminates tension between domestic settled life and traditional Cree itinerancy. Looming above, a mass-produced plastic Venus de Milo sculpture wears a hoodie—modeled off one of the artist’s own—that bears a screenprinted still from the 1920 film The Daughter of Dawn, which had an all-Indigenous cast. The home Linklater alludes to holds countless stories within—some legible only to Cree people, while others relatable for all.
