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.

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.

Hands Shawl
Dorothy Grant
$175.00 CAD50% Merino Wool 50% Silk
“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
