On loan from the artist.
" As a visual artist, I use various mediums to communicate concepts, perspective, feelings or emotion to the viewer. Through my work I am able to learn more about my historical cultural identity, I also firmly believe in cultural progress... this forward movement as a culture bearer communicates life. My work is a lens through which I see the world, my portfolio is in a way a trail of footsteps left on a path I creatively navigate ."
- Nicholas Galanin
