Tepkik Opening Reception

Visual artist Jordan Bennett’s unveiling of his installation Tepkik at Brookfield Place. Created in 2018, Tepkik is inspired by Mi’kmaq, the word for “night” in Jordan’s native language. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada, Jordan draws on Native heritage to guide his work. This expansive installation reflects on the idea of storytelling, and uses a combination of unique materials to portray different elements of visual culture. Jordan incorporated 3M Diamond Grade reflective on aluminum, as well as printed polysilk fabric to show the ebb and flow of time, the motif of storytelling and the importance of perspective.
