Context (Production / use)
Button blankets, symbols of wealth worn at potlatches and other ceremonial occasions, carry crest designs which identify the wearer with their clan and thereby associated resources. The artist highlights a multiplicity of views through her technique of zooming in and out – from the close details of the button blanket to the distant views of European derived maps, so crucial to exploration and colonial expansion. The design was produced in conjunction with the Vancouver International Marathon.
