Inspired by Nancy Deleary’s work For Uncle Art (2023), create your own Dream Sandwich! Nancy was inspired to draw a sandwich for the exhibition Nii after hearing stories from her uncle who went to the Mohawk Residential School. His name was Arthur Shilling, who became a successful artist. AWE even has some of his work in our permanent collection!
If you could build your dream sandwich, what ingredients would you add? Inspired by Nancy Deleary’s sandwich, use a variety of art-making materials to build your dream sandwich! Do your ingredients remind you of any memories?
