LABINAC congratulates Bev Koski, recipient of the York Wilson Endowment which will fund the acquisition of six bead works for the Textile Museum of Canada in Toronto.
Lisa Meyers has written on how Koski`s practice extends Anishinaabe visual language through a context of materiality, abstraction, modernism, and the language of pattern.
LABINAC commissioned seven bracelets from Bev Koski in 2018, three of which were acquired by Centre national des arts plastiques, France.
Bev Koski’s beadwork is featured in multiple collections such as the Canadian Museum of History, Carleton Art Gallery, The Indigenous Art Centre Gallery, Thunder
Bay Art Gallery, Textile Museum of Canada.
