The first monograph by Canadian Cree artist Meryl McMaster, whose work reflects her mixed Plains Cree, Dutch and British ancestry.
Meryl McMaster is a Canadian artist with nêhiyaw (Plains
Cree), British and Dutch ancestry. Her work is predominantly
photography based, incorporating the production of props,
sculptural garments and performance forming a synergy that
transports the viewer out of the ordinary and into a space of
contemplation and introspection. She explores the self in relation
to land, lineage, history, culture and the more-than-human
world.
McMaster is the recipient of the Scotiabank New Generation
Photography Award, the REVEAL Indigenous Art Award, Charles Pachter
Prize for Emerging Artists, the Canon Canada Prize, the Eiteljorg
Contemporary Art Fellowship, the OCAD U Medal and was long listed
for the 2016 Sobey Art Award.
Her work has been acquired by significant public collections within
Canada and the United States, including the National Gallery of
Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Montreal Museum of Fine
Arts, the Ottawa Art Gallery, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the
Heard Museum, the Eiteljorg Museum, and the National Museum of the
American Indian.
