Adele Arseneau Limited Edition 9x12 Print- Mischief & Medicine

$100.00

Handmade

A limited edition 9x12 giclee print- Here the relationship between mischief and medicine is explored—two energies seeming to stand apart, yet often traveling together. This piece reflects my understanding that life requires us to hold both at once: playful and serious, disruptive and healing. Fox appears here as a central figure. In many stories, Fox is clever, unpredictable, and spirited. But Fox Woman, is more than a trickster—she is a helper, a guide, someone who shows up when needed, though not always in the ways we expect. That duality is
important to me. It reminds me that not all medicine comes gently. Sometimes it arrives through challenge, humour, or disruption. Medicine is not just about healing the body—it’s about how we move through the world with intention, how we engage with
what’s around us. Medicine can restore, uplift, or teach. But it also has the power to harm if handled carelessly or with negative intent. That’s the balance represented in this work: how we carry and respond to both energies in our lives. What do we choose to focus on? Where do we place our attention, and how do our perceptions shape the meaning of what we
experience? We don’t always control what happens, we are participants—we decide how to carry it. Mischief and Medicine is about that tension. It’s about recognizing that every moment holds potential for both harm and healing, and that balance lives in the choices we make.
