A̲nwa’yi (Cloud)
Corrine Hunt
SOLDAcrylic paint on Board
2021
Unframed
This painting is a small tribute to the clouds that Corrine can see from the window of her studio as she works. Her studio faces the beach by her home, so she often finds herself looking out of the window as she works on new pieces. Corrine often finds the clouds to be a source of inspiration for her art, hence why she decided to dedicate a painting to them.
The painting features the Kwak’wala term for “Cloud” across the centre of the piece, with cloud-like forms surrounding it. Corrine also chose to use graffiti-style text for this painting. She is very fond of the style, finding it to be a highly open and expressive form of art.

Tɫa̲bat’si (Copper Box)
Corrine Hunt
$4,800.00 CADReclaimed Maple wood, Acrylic paint, Steel, Copper
Tɫabat’si (Copper Box) is an impressive large-scale piece that combines Pacific Northwest Coast history with contemporary artistic methods. The box is designed to look like traditional bentwood boxes, which were an innovative creation of the coastal Indigenous peoples that were used for a wide variety of utilitarian and ceremonial purposes. The imagery on the piece is depicted using classic formline and ovoid design principles, while the decision to incorporate copper was directly influenced by its historical importance across the region. Contrasting these more traditional design choices, the mediums and methods used by Corrine are highly contemporary, with the most obvious modern influence being the use of laser cut steel.
The main imagery on this box depicts the Raven as he dances with a Chilkat blanket on his shoulders. The opposite side of the box features the tail of a Killerwhale. The Raven and the Killerwhale are the two figures that Corrine identifies with most strongly, and at least one of the two can be found on the vast majority of her creations. The Chilkat blanket was a specialty of the Tlingit people, so its inclusion is a nod to that side of the artist’s heritage.

Eagle with Clamshell
Corrine Hunt
SOLDReclaimed Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint, Stone, Cockle Clamshell
This enchanting sculpture is carved from a half-round of reclaimed yellow cedar wood, which Corrine Hunt has left partially untouched so as to retain the organic shape and look of the wood. The clamshell in the Eagle’s mouth and the stone that was used for its eye were both taken from the beach in front of her house, which is a popular spot for Eagles. Corrine was inspired to create this sculpture as a result of all the time she has spent watching these beautiful creatures as they collect and eat the clamshells.
