SLER

The sler drawings derive from a community of self-given names. Each name reckons with the English language, largely in an abusive manner. Rendered in cursive and flooded with waterborne pigments, the names are inclined to find their own course.

DAVID MERRITT is artist based in London Canada.

The Rusty Toque was supported by the Canada Council from 2015-2017

The Rusty Toque would like to acknowledge the sacred land on which we operate. It has been a site of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and Confederacy of the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.
