Melissa Tremblett: Reprise

Elbow Room Residency Series

During her residency at The Rooms, Labrador artist Melissa Tremblett spent time with objects in The Rooms collections, including tea dolls made by her grandmother, renowned Innu artist Madeline Michelin. She learned how the objects were constructed, translating their forms into new works. The result is an exhibition as self-portrait. It reveals the process of refining identity and reconnecting to lost histories through text, photography, beadwork, textiles and found natural materials.
