An exhibition by Madeleine Greenway
The Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Council (OSAC) proudly presents the work of artist Madeleine Greenway in the exhibition Propagation. This exhibition is through OSAC's Arts on the Move program.
This exhibition has pencil crayon drawings, relief prints, and silkscreen prints. The prints and drawings show images of food, and of women engaged in food production. The purpose of the exhibition is to show gratitude for a long tradition of growing and preparing
food - the vast majority of which has been done by women in the artist’s family. It is thanks to
them that the knowledge has been passed down for many generations - and will continue to be.
The exhibition also celebrates the food itself, its beauty, joys, and challenges.
Propagation is an exploration of family, community, knowledge, and land. It celebrates coming together, sharing resources, learning to care for plants and people, and all the rewards for doing so.
