Summary:

""I am a Mohawk when I paint" From award-winning performer Tom Wilson comes a collection of art reflecting what it means to be removed and reconnected with your cultural heritage...Tom Wilson is a Canadian music legend, known for his showstopping performances with Junkhouse, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and Lee Harvey Osnmond. In his 2017 memoir, Beautiful Scars, Wilson revealed the astonishing story of how he discovered his Mohawk heritage. In Mohawk, Warriors, Hunters, and Chiefs, Wilson further explores his identity through a stunning collection of paintings that explore what it means to be removed and reconnected with your cultural heritage. Featuring over 35 full-colour images of Wilson's work from guitars decorated with iconography drawn from beadwork to multimedia reflections on his upbringing in Hamilton, Mohawk, Warriors, Hunters, and Chiefs explores how Wilson began painting when all he knew of his identity were hints and dreams, and how Wilson's art has developed and grown over the past few years. An interview on his artistic process with Ryan McMahon and essays by Wilson and curator David Liss round out Wilson's stunning exploration of his Mohawk identity through his art."-- Provided by publisher.
