Tlakwa

T̓łakwa is engaged with copper as its main subject in material, concept, and form. While maintaining a profound connection to past traditions, Assu’s practice emphasizes the intersections and boundaries of traditional Indigenous art within the larger realm of contemporary practices, bringing to light a complex conversation between established practices and unconventional approaches.
