A Statement from the Artist
"I’ve always found red to be very reflective and powerful in its connection to earth and our soul. With one side you have happiness, love, passion, and lust while the other you have obsession, danger, fear, anger and frustration. In my self portraits, grazing my dress over our native land and sacred grounds in thanks to Mother Earth I found it helped me restore my soul and strengthen my roots."
- Brandy Bloxom

According to Black, the REDress art installation is "an aesthetic response to the more than 1000 missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada." The project will be exhibited at the Eagle Rose Holistic Healing and Teaching Lodge at 104 Tweedsmuir St. NorVA will host Jaime on Friday Feb 15th for an artist talk/meet and greet at 7 pm.
