M’CHIGEENG—Steven Fox, aka Odemin Arts, has a deep and personal connection with the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation (OCF). His mother, Mary Lou Fox ba was the driving force behind the founding of the organization in 1974 (along with James Debassige ba) with the goal to “preserve and revitalize the language, culture, arts, spirituality, and traditions of the Anishinaabe people of Mnidoo Mnising (Manitoulin Island) and surrounding areas.”

The exhibition of his works, ‘This Knowledge Comes Through Me,’ therefore, is both a retrospective exhibition, but also a bit of a coming home.

The exhibition spans decades of Mr. Fox’s work—from painting and design to paddles, vessels, wood, light, pigment and mixed media. Rather than presenting a linear progression, the exhibition traces the ideas, experiences and ways of seeing that continue to run through his practice.
