Hannah Claus received her Associate’s degree with honors from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Canada 1997. During a presentation for her “trade-treaty-territory” exhibition, Claus stated she studied both drawing and painting as well as sculpture. She expressed her disapproval at the fact that art school focuses on concepts and ideas only, rather than beauty. She still desired the “aesthetic appeal” of painting, so she decided to practice installation art. Claus continued her studies at Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to complete her Masters of Fine Arts, Studio Arts, in 2004.

“Water song” is a suspended installation piece apart of the group exhibition “Inaabiwin” in the Ottawa Art Gallery, Ontario. In Anishnaabemowin, inaabiwin means “movement of light,” and Claus captures this through her thin acetate discs moving slowly to reflect the light. This artwork is an installation, meaning the art dominates the space it resides in. “Water song” is composed of digital print on acetate, thread, PVA glue, and plexiglass. Suspended from the ceiling hang threads holding the thin acetate discs that contain images of rivers, branches, and other pictures of nature on them. Her inspiration is drawn from the relationships with the rivers that flow through the Miami Tribe, the Gesgapegia’jg, Getnig, Tlapataqanji’jg, and Sipug. The installation’s shape is meant to mimic the sound waves of a traditional Mi’kmaq water song, that “gives thanks for the rivers and oceans.” This traditional song was gifted to Claus by Tracey Metallic, Glenda Wysote- LaBillois and Victoria Labillois of Listuguj, all Pugwalesg singers. Claus also pays homage to the Haudenosaunee’s wampum belt; she stresses the continuity and unification of rivers, similar to the coexistence principles and symbols of the wampum belt.
