Live and Work space for Jimson

Jimson Bowler is an Indigenous Artist living on the street, outside in Peterborough, Ontario – we are trying to raise enough money to secure a live work space for him and save his current archive/body of work which needs to be stored somewhere or it will be thrown out. If you want to support the Arts this is how you can make a difference. Thank you.

From Jimson: "My inspiration comes from the Peterborough Petroglyphs, using the story of the /anishinaabe/ trickster /nanaaboozhoo/ as teacher lessons and stories. I create one of a kind jewelry using recycled silver in the form of forks, spoons, knives; and cut stones from my own unique collection acquired over the years. My sculptural work combines traditional mediums such as bone and turquoise with discarded modern materials. I take inspiration from the traditional ways that respectfully use all materials from mother earth and I seek to create objects that keep the stories alive, motivate us to learn the culture and realize that Aboriginal people are not relics of an ancient past."
