Looking at Asymmetry

“I feel that art can have premonitions about the future. The first design was created long before the events of 9/11 and the resulting US war in Afghanistan. Between the action and reaction, I thought about the title that I had given this print and the idea that no retaliation would be unsymmetrical and the decision to declare war was symmetrical or a predictable outcome. No retaliation would be a sign that we were reaching maturity.” – Robert Davidson RCA

Qolun (Beaver) Totem Pole
Lyle Wilson
Price upon requestYellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
This stunning pole was inspired by the story of how the Beaver Clan came to be part of the Haisla Nation. Each figure depicted on the pole represents an important episode in the journey that the characters in the story take. From top to bottom, the figures being depicted include a squirrel, a halibut, a giant man that is holding an otter, and two beavers.
This particular Haisla story is quite old, and Lyle is one of the few individuals who still knows all of the details. The pole is Lyle’s contemporary portrayal of the tale, which pays tribute to the ancient family connections between the present-day Haisla and their neighbors.

Drumming Sedna
Bart Hanna
CA$3,840.00Marble
As goddess of the ocean, Sedna sets strict rules about the proper way to treat the animals of the hunt, which the Inuit require for sustenance. This includes proper treatment of the animals’ spirit when killed for food. If she feels the rules have been broken, she cuts off the supply of food. When this happens, the Inuit tribal shaman is required to take a mystical journey to the bottom of the ocean to speak to the goddess. It is considered the most dangerous journey an Inuit shaman is called upon to make.Upon arrival at the bottom of the sea the shaman is required to comb Sedna’s hair, because Sedna has no fingers to comb it herself, and to find out what the tribe has done wrong that the food has been cut off. The shaman then makes a deal with Sedna, promising that if the tribe corrects whatever transgressions it has made, the goddess will return their food supply. The shaman then returns to the tribe with the list of things the goddess requires to be done to get the food back.
