Happy Holidays with “Eagle Blessings” by Quinn Hopkins!
To help celebrate, we’re pleased to share the artwork from this year’s holiday card, Eagle Blessings by Quinn ᓂᑳᓐ ᓅᑎᓐ Hopkins.
Hopkins is a mixed Anishinaabe/Settler artist from Tkaronto working at the intersection of Urban Indigenous culture and new media, crafting a vibrant dialogue between Indigenous history, present urban life, and futuristic visions. Through his art, Hopkins seeks to forge a path that honours heritage while embracing the possibilities of the future.
Eagle Blessings is an animated virtual 3D sculpture that can be viewed in AR (augmented reality) with a mobile phone or tablet. Hopkins shares that “The piece celebrates the Eagle, a sacred being that, because they can fly the highest, are messengers to the sky and thunder beings.”
