Sowing Seeds emerged from a quiet longing — a reclamation of cultural fractals held in memory, body, and bloodline. Through my father, we are Northern Cree; through my mother, Irish, Scottish, and English. These inheritances meet in my hands, in the making, in the remembering. This work lives in the in-between and symbiosis — presence and past, known and seeking. It is an offering to belonging: to self, home, and the lands I now walk as guest. Rooted in kinship with Lkwungen territory, Sowing Seeds is a return, a renewal, a reverent listening to what has always been there.

About the artist

Natalie Rollins
Victoria, British Columbia

Natalie Ashley is an interdisciplinary artist and member of the Driftpile Cree Nation (Treaty 8) through her father. Raised on the prairies and shaped by her family’s creative legacy—her Kokum’s beadwork, her uncle’s carvings, her mother’s textiles—her practice lives in the in-between: memory and body, longing and land. Of Northern Cree, Irish, Scottish, and English descent, Natalie’s work is a reclamation and return.
