“Birth of an Idea” Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$18,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“Originally, this panel was a naked yellow cedar board, but I added the white to highlight the undulating formlines, which are easier to see on a monochromatic surface. The main character is basically a mighty mouse, abstracted to convey how ideas emerge from my mind’s eye towards the hands – or in this case, the paw of the mighty mouse. The condensed figure within the eye is an embryonic idea.
Yup, that’s how they all look to me!” – Don Yeomans -
Bear, Frog, Killerwhale, Raven & Eagle Chest
Don Yeomans
Price upon requestRed Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“This was the last chest made by my friend, Larry Rosso, before he died. In fact, I removed some wood from the front side, as he had already begun carving it. My goal in designing this large box was to make each side as interesting as the front. Quite often, only the front side of the chests were given special attention, with the back and side designs being so much weaker and ill-defined.
The front side [of this chest] is a Grizzly and a Frog, while the back is a split Killerwhale. A Raven adorns one side, with an Eagle on the other.” – Don Yeomans 2022
Specific and unique to the Northwest Coast People is the bentwood or bent-corner box or container. A most outstanding item of the First Nations people, it is a made from one single plank of wood through a lengthy steaming process – a method strictly adapted by the coastal peoples.

Creation and Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art
Christine Lalonde, Darlene Wight, Ingo Hessel, Norman Vorano, Susan Gustavison, Winnipeg Art Gallery
CA$65.00The treasures of the world’s largest public collection of Inuit art are revealed in this seminal history of art from the Arctic.
The collection of Inuit art held by the Winnipeg Art Gallery, one of Canada’s most important public galleries, is extraordinary by any standard: its geographic range, diverse media and size have brought international renown to the collection of some 11,000 artworks. The wag celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2012-13 and this book, as well as a major exhibition from January 24 to April 17, 2013, will feature many of the gallery’s treasures as it marks this important milestone.
Creation and Transformation is a major art book that describes the genesis and evolution of contemporary Inuit art from 1949 to the present day: from carvers in the 1950s, such as Johnny Inukpuk, to later storytellers in stone, such as Davidialuk Alasua Amittu, and in whale bone such as Karoo Ashevak; from pioneer graphic artist Jessie Oonark, to graphic artists working today in new and personal idioms, such as Shuvinai Ashoona. The book is a celebration of creativity that has had many transformations over six decades.
Organized chronologically, this remarkable volume will constitute a new historical narrative of a contemporary art form as revealed in essays by international authorities led by Winnipeg Art Gallery’s curator of Inuit art, Darlene Coward Wight, and explored through the personal insights of the artists themselves. Expertly designed and produced, this book features 150 colour and archival images.
