Take Care To Tell It Just As It Was Vance WrightVancouver, British Columbia Size 74" x 24" x 1" Medium Sculpture, wood, felt, sinew, tanned hide, jingles, beadwork Beadwork is a trace of its maker, a physical tie to this world after someone has left it. This flag embodies this as it stands at 6 feet 2 inches, the same height as me. I made it brightly coloured to feel more like a celebration of life rather than commemoration of death. Its installation is a simple lean against the gallery wall, alluding to the body at rest. The presence of jingles gives the sense that this object has been performed before being put down, much like how life is a flurry of activity before rest.
