Limited edition

Plaster is suitable for both outdoor and indoor display.
This extraordinary piece stands as a resplendent tribute to one of the Pacific Northwest Coast’s paramount and revered sources of vitality: the Salmon. Salmon, an integral and indispensable facet of life in this region, has left an indelible imprint on the cultures, interactions, technologies, and spiritual beliefs of the Pacific Northwest Indigenous communities.
“Water gives energy to the salmon.” – Don Yeomans
In this quote, the artist encapsulates the spiritual and life-sustaining essence bestowed upon this remarkable creature. Revered as a gift from the Creator, Salmon transcends its physical form to embody abundance, regeneration, self-sacrifice, and perseverance. The shape of the body allows Salmon to defy gravity as it dances upstream to fulfil its essential role within the cycle of our lives.
This masterpiece skillfully converges nine distinct Salmon into a harmonious whole, thereby creating a symbol of unification that mirrors the interconnectedness of our existence.
Each meticulously rendered Salmon pays homage to the mastery of the artist as well as the intricate dance of life and energy that defines the West Coast Indigenous communities.

Wasgo, Beaver and Dogfish Box
Gryn White
CA$3,700.00Argillite, Abalone ShellRevered as a great hunter, the Sea Wolf (Wasgo) was often associated with a special spirit power that man had to acquire to become a successful hunter.
Beavers are creative, artistic, determined, and industrious. They generally keep to themselves, but when they do decide to speak, they give wise advice so it is best to listen.
The Dogfish is an important and high-ranking crest figure amongst the matriarchs with the Haida Nation. It is an image most commonly depicted by Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian and Nisga’a artisans, especially applied to utilitarian objects.

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.

Salmon Ladle
Alvin Mack
CA$3,960.00Alder wood, Acrylic paint
4 x 14 x 5″ (ladle only)
6.25 x 14 x 5″ (including stand)
Spoons and ladles were traditionally made from either cedar wood or the horn of a mountain sheep, and their handles were carved with family crest images. Historically, these exquisitely sculptured objects were primarily created by people in Northern Nations, and were highly sought after by other nations. During potlatches [festive gatherings], cedar ladles decorated with the hosting family’s crests were used to serve food, while the elaborately carved mountain sheep spoons were distributed as gifts among the many guests.
Today, spoon and ladle productions are based on these traditional objects and are meant to be both objects of function and display. In addition to traditional mediums such as cedar wood, goat or mountain sheep horn, many modern-day spoons and ladles are constructed of gold, silver and pewter.

Hawk Moon Frontlet
Alan Weir
CA$4,350.00Yew wood, Abalone shell, Acrylic paint
6.5 x 6.5 x 3″ (Frontlet)
A frontlet is a forehead mask attached to a woven headpiece. It is worn by chiefs and high-ranking individuals as a display of crests and status. Frontlets are often decorated with materials that are symbols of wealth and power: abalone shell, operculum shell, sea lion whiskers, feathers and/or ermine pelts.
The Hawk takes its place in the spiritual world of the supernatural and inspires creative designs for masks, rattles and jewelry. A Hawk man or woman are transformation beings depicted with largely human features and can be distinguished by a curled beak which often curves to meet the tip of the lower jaw.

Coiled Basket with Eagles
Betsy Meeko
CA$4,370.002010
Woven coiled grass basket, Thread (coloured), Serpentine stone
The process of basket-making is long and arduous as it can take up to a month to weave a large basket. Baskets are made from repeatedly coiling the grass from the bottom of the basket and building the basket up. Designs are created by stitching thread onto the basket, however some designs are actually woven in. This thread can be made from a number of materials, such as de-haired sealskin, leather, and yarn.

Ovoid Eyespot #6 Pendant: Human
Lyle Wilson
CA$4,800.0018K Yellow Gold, Abalone shell, Engraved, Textured, Repoussé, Chased
2012“For this series, the inspiration came from thinking about the eyespot markings on the wings of young skatefish; as such markings are credited with the beginning of the famous Pacific Northwest Coast (PNC) Ovoid. The original markings are solid black spots, encircled by a fine line.
I wanted to use the same circular format as a young skatefish’s markings as traditionally as can be, but with variations on each face. There’s a strong ‘pull’ that keeps an artist coming back to the more traditional, straightforward depictions of PNC faces. To those of us who grew up hunting, gathering and fishing, I think such a ‘pull’ is connected to that traditional upbringing; and that sort of familiarity makes us want to go back, just to remind us of our roots again.”

Star Face Pendant
Lyle Wilson
CA$5,400.0018K Yellow Gold, Abalone shell, Engraved, Textured, Repoussé, Chased
2012“The story of ‘Raven Releasing the Light’ has several versions depending upon the teller and the Pacific Northwest Coast group. In some versions, the sun is featured, while in others the moon or stars are included. In this pendant, I played around with the idea of using a star; it’s a theme I want to keep on pursuing because it’s intriguing to me to take bits and pieces of a traditional tale and expand it in a way that respects the original intent. As far as I know, a Star is not really widely used in Pacific Northwest Coast art.”

Unframed
(For inquiries on custom framing, please contact the gallery)
Why an Artist Proof?
The artist proof is often the first proof or set of proofs that the artist “pulls” to ensure that the image is printing to the desired effect. The Artist Proof holds a higher value than a regular edition piece due to its rarity as well as the possibility that they can contain the visual evidence of the artist’s progress. Artist Proofs are typically owned and kept by the artist so they are rarely released.
