 MOA - Sourcebooks - Sourcebooks Tell Our Own Stories
Sourcebooks combine text taken from oral testimony, library research, contemporary and archival photographs, illustrations and maps to "tell a story." Through the use of a minimum amount of explanatory text, they profile people, organizations, events or processes in the form of an exhibit-book.
The sourcebook entitled Whittling for a Living, was written by a M.F.A. graduate, Eden Robinson - Haisla/Heiltsuk Nation, and developed in co-ordination with the artist while he was in residence at MOA in the summer of 1994.
And this is the success of sourcebooks as a medium, they reach beyond the academic community to a wider audience, unlike conventional academic studies which are generally accessible to the public but not widely read.
