From September 5th through October 10th 2026, Deep Water Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Diane Wallace, whose Mohawk name is Skonwahtehrá:wi, They Gave Her Back The Roots.

​

A member of Wahta Mohawk Territory now living in Hope Bay on the Saugeen Peninsula, Wallace has created art throughout her life in watercolour, acrylic, encaustic, pen and ink, linocut, beadwork and clay.

​

Central to this exhibition is a series of linocuts depicting elements of the Ohèn Karihwatéhkwen — the Thanksgiving Address. Wallace’s work brings together language, culture and science,

with beaded representations of viral pathogens that have disproportionately affected Indigenous peoples also featuring in the show.
