“Variations of the Raven Story” Pendant
Gwaai Edenshaw
CA$110.00Sterling silver, Copper (Artist’s Signature Seal), Impressed
Part of Gwaai’s Regalia jewelry line, featuring handmade works that depict abstraction of the Haida form. The motifs impressed on each piece are borrowed from a dismantled a bentwood box design featuring variations of the Raven story. As an extension of this original concept, Gwaai has developed other themes such as reinterpreting Naxiin or Chilkat blanket weaving designs. After embossing on sterling silver or copper sheets, each specific design is carefully chosen for its aesthetic and narrative qualities. They are then shaped and polished by hand, ensuring no two pieces will ever be identical.

“Louder Than Words” Mask
Kyran Yeomans
CA$9,500.00Alder wood, Acrylic paint
“It is New Year’s Day, and Dad mentions seeing a fallen alder tree in the woods by his studio. We hike down to it, about a hundred and fifty steps or so, and cut it into a few pieces with a chainsaw. It is raining pretty hard for added dramatic effect.
We load a few pieces onto a dolly and take turns pulling/pushing the two-hundred-pound load back up the stairs we had come down. This takes an hour. For the second dolly load, we decide to go down the stairs and just push the dolly for a few kilometers on a hilly trail instead.I had initially intended something quite different for this mask, and I used that idea as a starting point. Part of the process for me these days is allowing for new directions to present themselves, and getting comfortable with letting go and pursuing them. The feathers at this person’s mouth suggest a power of speech. I have been thinking lately that there is more to what we hear and say than the words themselves. There is a feeling, intent, and vibrational energy as well. The feathers here may provide a way to transcend our physiological boundaries and amplify the message further.” – Kyran Yeomans

“It seems, at times, the material will give direction to what will come. This was the case for this piece. As it became clearer that it was to become a sun figure, the idea of it being a companion for a moon piece I had done many years previously excited me. The timing possesses a feeling of cosmic intention to it, a cyclical weight.
Arriving after ten years of darkness, the sun appears, bringing with it a new season. Life awakening after hibernation, new green finding its way into being, spring. Illumination. Newness. Difference. Balance. Growth, in all its awkwardness and vulnerability. Foreshadowing.
I [wrote] these words in the summer of 2021, after welcoming my son into this world a few weeks ago. I look back and see this piece giving me a big empyrean wink. May it warm and light your space and voyage through these three dimensions (…and beyond).” – Kyran Yeomans
