Wana-Na-Wang-Ong
Rebecca Belmore
1994
Catalogue published by Vancouver's Contemporary Art Gallery on the occasion of the exhibition Wana-na-wang-ong by Rebecca Belmore, running from October 30 to November 27, 1993. The work Wana-na-wang-ong, the Anishinaabe word for sandy bay, is comprised of two 8 feet by 14 feet suspended panels made from spruce roots, dried mud, and vines. The materials were gathered and the pieces constructed at Sioux Lookout in northern Ontario, where Belmore's parents and grandparents once lived. Wana-na-wang-ong is a tactile and contemplative work that literally brings the northern Ontario landscape to the west coast. Cedar tea was served throughout the exhibition. The publication includes an essay, The Language of Place by Lee-Ann Martin, and poetry by Florene Belmore.
