A citizen of the Seneca Nation\, Marie Watt is a nationally\nknown\, multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of\nhistory\, storytelling and community. Working with textil es (particularly\nblankets)\, wood\, metal and other materials\, Watt has made numerous bodies\nof work that consider the human relationship to natu re. This exhibition\nfeatures work from her ongoing project “Companion S pecies\,” which\ninvestigates the contradictions between the human relat ionship to wildlife\nand the stories that we tell about creatures who live in the wilderness. Of\n“Companion Species: Underbelly\,” the 3\,800 l b. cedar sculpture in this\nexhibition\, she writes\, “I am interested i n how an underbelly is both the\nsoft fleshy vulnerable part of a body\, b ut also how it is associated with\ndark hidden areas. Lately\, I have been reflecting on dogs—canis\nfamiliaris—as pets\, mythological guides\, and first teachers. ‘Companion\nSpecies’ addresses the reciprocal rela tionship humans have with canines\nthroughout history\, this story is one of ignorance\, stewardship and\nreciprocity.”
Watt holds an MFA i n painting and printmaking from\nYale University. She attended Willamette University and the Institute of\nAmerican Indian Arts\, and in 2016 she wa s awarded an honorary doctorate\nfrom Willamette University.
