La Guilde celebrates the cultural traditions and creative expressions of all Indigenous and Fine Crafts artists of Canada.
La Guilde is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters of Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal, historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. It is with respect that La Guilde weaves together the past, present, and future in all relationships with Indigenous peoples and other communities within Canada.

Inspired by time spent on the shores of northern Saskatchewan lakes, the NoSa Stacks Series is conceived as an abstraction. Evoking dusk, it is reminiscent of the last light of the day as it touches the water. While the metal supports provide a certain permanent quality to the series, the upward opening suggests the possibility of a different outcome.
