Ogiwe’ (Bow of a Canoe)
Corrine Hunt
$960.00 CADReclaimed Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint, Copper nails
This piece was inspired by a scene from the movie “Land of the War Canoes (1914)”. In the scene, all of the canoes are coming up to the shore of the beach. Corrine’s great-grandfather, George Hunt, worked with the production coordinator for the movie and helped build the sets. The piece features imagery of the Eagle and the Killerwhale. The chisel marks are supposed to represent waves.

G̲wa’wina (Raven) Inside Ovoid in Super-Hero Pose
Corrine Hunt
$1,600.00 CADReclaimed Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
In this sculpture, Corrine explores the famous “Super Hero Pose” with a coastal Indigenous twist. The pose is achieved when one stands tall with their feet apart, chin up, and hands on their hips with elbows bent. It is a high-power pose which exudes confidence and, when held for an extended period of time, raises one’s testosterone while simultaneously lowing their cortisol. It is one of Corrine’s favourite poses, hence her decision to create a piece that honours it.

A̲mɫanux̲ (We are Playing)
Corrine Hunt
SOLDAcrylic paint on Board
2021
Unframed
This fun little painting depicts Raven and Eagle as they circle around a happy face. If one looks at the piece closely, one can see the faint outline of a sad face underneath. According to Corrine, this is meant to show how sad Raven and Eagle used to be when they were alone, and how happy they are now that they’ve found each other.
Like many of the artworks in her most recent exhibition, Kapiguxw’id: Iklegans dudakwo | Gathering: It’s good to see you [again], this piece was inspired by Corrine’s daughter, who is a major source of joy in her life.

A̲nwa’yi (Cloud)
Corrine Hunt
$600.00 CADAcrylic 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.

Corrine Hunt
$880.00 CADPine, Reclaimed Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint, Mother of Pearl
This cheerful small-scale panel features a happy face on a rainbow background. The happy face is meant to be the smiley face emoji, which is one of Corrine’s favourite emojis to use. The rainbow background represents the colours of the Pride flag. Together, these come together to create the panel’s title – “Proud to Smile.”
