"My work can be described as this formative self-portrait, dream-like imagery. I usually explore themes around self and identity and how we form our sense of self through land, lineage, history, and culture." - Meryl McMaster.

This first installment of our six-film collaboration with Canadian filmmaker David Hartman features Meryl McMaster, whose work has astounded McMichael visitors over the past few months in her exhibition Bloodline. The exhibition showcases McMaster's enthralling large-scale photographic works, defined by her incorporation of symbols and inspiration from cultural objects, stories, and traditions from her Plains Cree, Dutch, and British ancestry.
