Animals remain clearly identifiable, while bold colour, flowing lines and geometric forms create another visual layer within their bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of those forms come directly from Mi’kmaq visual traditions and carry specific meanings. White uses symbols such as the double curl, which represents stages of the life cycle, and the eight-point star, connected to the districts of the Mi’kmaq Nation. Circles, medicine wheel colours and images of the sun, moon and natural elements also appear throughout her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese symbols are not separate from the animals she depicts.
