Artist Statement
Renée Condo’s work emerges from a practice-based exploration into the power of the bead to embody ideas derived from her evolving understanding and application of a Mi’gmaq Worldview, emphasizing Mntu and Heart Knowledge. In a continual state of flux, Mntu (energy or Spirit) is the underlying force of all things. Heart Knowledge is our way of participating in this flow, guided by empathetic love. It is the performative obligation to care for and be considerate of others, where our actions come from the heart.
