Vibrant Beaded Compositions by Renee Condo Convey the Mi'gmaq Spirit of Empathy

Throughout her practice, Renée Condo draws on the philosophical tenets of her Mi'gmaq ancestry. The Montreal-based artist works with wooden beads that she sands, paints in bold acrylic, and nests into energetic compositions depicting juicy fruits, raindrops, and brilliant, golden suns. Condo is interested in mntu, or spirit, and what she refers to as heart knowledge, acts that emerge from empathy and love. Through sculptural pieces that emphasize interconnection and flow, the artist draws on Indigenous creation stories and myths, considering her beadwork a reimagining of various traditions.
