He took this image of a bone through layer after layer of changes (note the central area of stars in the night sky, for example). And then he would deliberately rough it up &#8211; outrageous! For the digirati, graphics that were anti-aliased, with jagged edges and pixels showing was (and is) unheard of. And Ahasiw was a magpie for images. He would blithely take up anything that caught his eye, then work it through his own process to make it very much his own.<\/p>\n<p>AP: n 1993 I was Technical Director of the Pitt Gallery. I was at home one evening when the phone rang around 9pm. It was Ahasiw, who was due to perform at the gallery the next night. \u201cI need a M\u00e9tis fiddler for tomorrow\u201d. I didn\u2019t know any M\u00e9tis fiddlers at that time, but I did know Calvin Cairns, who had studied under a master M\u00e9tis fiddler back in Saskatchewan. <\/p>\n<p>The next day I told Ahasiw I had found a fiddler, but he wasn\u2019t M\u00e9tis. Ahasiw insisted the fiddler <em>had<\/em> to be M\u00e9tis. I told him he was free to locate a genuine M\u00e9tis fiddler in the seven hours before showtime.<\/p>\n<p>Calvin was great.  <\/p>\n<\/h4>\n<p><\/div><div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1951,"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/1951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lovingthespider.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
