   Anne Kelly is a master at the art of weaving maille. The word 'maille' is derived from the French word for net or mesh and is a material made of interwoven rings or links. Fascinated with ancient techniques of working with metal and gemstones, Anne creates beautiful, unique, wearable art. Many of her pieces involve an eclectic combination of contemporary and ancient metal fabrication techniques, but maille has remained a favourite element of her designs.

   Why This Word is an exhibition that draws an axis between interpretation and vocalization to deconstruct the act of writing as a way to shape identity. 
    
   The title is inspired by a quote—“the word is my fourth dimension”—in Clarice Lispector’s novel Agua Viva, and partly borrowed from a biography of the author (Why This World, Benjamin Moser, Oxford University Press, 2009). Referencing the looming myths of Lispector’s own life as a means to speak to universal female experiences, Why This Word considers how fractures in the socio-political world may otherwise remain invisible.

   On Beaded Ground explores the essential role of Indigenous women’s creative practices in the reclamation and renewal of culture, identity, stories and teachings. The beaded artworks in the exhibition carry stories. The materials, methods of making, designs and functions of beaded objects are languages particularly devised to transmit memories, legacies, and narratives between people across time and space.Curated by Lorilee Wastasecoot (UVic BA '17)
