Turtle Island Unravelling
“Mohawk fiber artist Carla Hemlock uses medium and subject matter to upset viewers’ expectations and engage them in critical discourse regarding Native North American women’s histories and contemporary lives,” McLerran said. “Hemlock’s quilts may be seen as simple bed coverings bearing innocuous representations of animals and plants, or they may be read as political statements regarding environmental justice, tribal sovereignty and the ways in which settler colonialism has promulgated violence against indigenous women.”Turtle Island is the name given to North America by many indigenous peoples.
