Technically superb and full of charm, Elizabeth Goluch’s “I’ll Sing in the Sunshine”, is a splendid demonstration of fine craft. Made from gold, silver, copper and precious/semi-precious stones, the beautiful insect reflects the merging of naturalist and artist. Through this detailed presentation of the Cicada, an insect that could be considered unappealing is portrayed in splendid beauty.
The Nova Scotia Masterworks Awards Foundations operates in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all treaty people.
