Black’s idea was that hangs in the school
library entitled “Broken Web.” Two of McQuade’s students, Dorothy Cofell in Grade 12 and Kacey Day in Grade 9, worked on the painting part of the piece of art, inspired by Native artist Terry McCue’s painting titled “Ignorance.” McCue, born on Curve Lake Reserve near Peterborough, Ont., was so moved the first time he heard about the Red Dress movement, he was inspired to come up with
his own tribute to missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Taking a year and a half, the Ojibwa painter created a series of 16 works, making up the exhibit “Ripples of Loss,” including the one titled “Ignorance.” McQuade’s class put their painting on a background of intertwining yarn, which represented the web of a dream catcher with red dress cards containing facts on the
murdered and missing women. Cofell said she knew a bit about the Red Dress project going into the class, but has really enjoyed working on the project, as well as the art dot project inspired by Native artist Christi Belcourt. The art involves stippling paint on a canvas with beads sewn into it in different size and colour medallions, all with a nature theme. The Grade 12 student said about 40
hours have gone into the stippling work and another 15 hours on sewing the tiny beads onto the canvas. “I have a Native background and saw the posts at the time. It’s not something local so much in Ontario, but it is still a problem,” Cofell said. “I’ve thought about pursuing art after high school and I have a portfolio of 88 pages. Art is definitely a big thing in my life.”
Feb. 4 and 6. Auditions will take place on Feb. 4 at 2 p.m. and Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m. Both sets of auditions
will be held in the Theatre Kent wing of Living Faith Community Church at 530 Victoria Ave., in Chatham. Actors will read from the
script and no prior experience is necessary. Director Karen Robinet is looking for a large cast of adult actors for the
comedy which is a “play within a play,” and will be performed at Living Faith May 10 to 12. More information and
specific cast requirements are available at www.theatrekent.com or by emailing theatrekent@gmail. com.
