Signs of Life: Tom Civil

As a non-Indigenous person I feel it is my responsibility to dig into my own personal history and help to break down these colonial signifiers.

I feel as an artist who works in public spaces that symbolism and images matter. They matter in how we live together in this country and how we see ourselves and move forward together into the future. I hope these artworks work towards looking at ideas of the flag, a republic, the monarchy, a treaty, borders, and land ownership."
