Where Air Meets Water (Eagle & Killerwhale) Plate [White Edition]
Corrine Hunt
$180.00 CADRecycled Glass
Plexi-glass stand not included.
Plate may be hung on the wall – specific hole in the back included for this purpose.
The concept for this design is based upon the physical depiction of air meeting water – a droplet of water which creates a swirl as the air affects its surface. The whorl-shape created by this abstract notion has produced the forms of an Eagle, on the left side of the design, and a Killerwhale; it’s body elusively curving around the right side. Corrine has continued to play with the whirlpool concept by introducing echoing shapes and forms that reflect across the surface of the material and invite the viewer to explore the “water’s” surface.

Haida Glass Totem
Clarence Mills
$255.00 CADGlass, etched and sandblasted
Created in the contemporary medium of glass, Clarence Mills’ Haida Totem is an interplay between tradition and innovation. This piece makes a strong visual statement with its structured Haida form line, and yet the translucent nature of the glass softens the composition. The totem blends ancient animal symbolism within a stylized contemporary form and demonstrates how innovative Clarence is with this medium.

“We believe the hands are connected to the heart centre, which the Haida believe was the mind centre. The right and the left hands have human faces in the palms that represent creativity, healing and communication. Thus, the artist communicates their work through working with their hands.” – Dorothy Grant

People Among the People: The Public Art of Susan Point
Robert D. Watt
$50.00 CADSusan Point’s unique artworks have been credited with almost single-handedly reviving the traditional Coast Salish art style. Once nearly lost to the effect of colonization, the crescents, wedges, and human and animal forms characteristic of traditional Coast Salish art can now been seen around the world – reinvigorated with modern materials and techniques – in her serigraphs and public art installations, as well as the works of a new generation of artists that she’s inspired.
While the images and symbolism of Point’s work are often informed by surviving traditional Salish works and the Traditional Knowledge of her Musqueam family and Elders, she has developed a unique and contemporary style that continues to evolve.
People Among People beautifully displays the breadth and depth of her public art, from cast bronze faces in Whistler to massive carved cedar portals in Stanley Park to moulded polymer murals in Seattle.
Through interviews and archival access, Robert D. Watt gathers the story of each piece, often in Point’s own words, to illustrate the vital role she has played in revealing the re-establishing the “Salish footprint” in the Pacific Northwest. An artist’s statement by Point and an essay by Dr. Michael Kew complete this portrait of a profoundly moving collection of artworks.
