Good Tidings [Framed]
Margaret August
CA$605.00Serigraph, Edition 15/100
Framed
“’Good tidings’ depicts a contemporary otter design inspired by traditional Coast Salish house posts. Originally a canvas painting, I felt compelled to create a contemporary piece in the work after reviewing photographs of house post artifacts. House posts typically show mythical creatures associated with family history, notable ancestors, events which displayed ancestors’ spirit powers, or magical privileges of the family. They were also placed into the large winter house orating the long history, wealth and high status of the family. Otters often appeared on Salish house posts, they were considered to bring good messages, and were considered to be trickster figures. I personally set the intention to persevere in the continuum of Coast Salish traditions.” – Margaret August 2024

Whorl of Transformation [Framed]
Margaret August
CA$650.00Serigraph, Edition 9/100
Framed
“This design depicts salmon, with an asymmetrical moon face, inspired by a spindle whorl artifact.
I say that salmon, like all animal medicine, has a spiritual meaning and some of the main themes you can find with salmon medicine is abundance, fertility, prosperity and renewal.
[It] is inspired by the use of Coast Salish spindle whorls, which have been known to be predominantly used by women, and their ability to produce beautiful textiles which had social and spiritual significance. The disc like shape would be designed with unique designs for which was to give the wool spinner a trance like experience for healing and transformation. Today, weaving continues to be a vibrant expression of cultural identity. Salish weavers consist of self-identified women, two-spirit people, and trans people.” – Margaret August 2024

Iinang Xaadee – Iihlangaa (Young Man) II [Framed]
April White
CA$600.00Serigraph, Edition of 55
2016
Framed
“For my ancestors, the primary purpose of art is to unveil a parallel reality that is visible only in our minds—to share a glimpse of Supernatural Beings, with the world of Human Beings. Educated in science and with a spirit drawn to art, I see Earth as one great Being—with rock as a skeleton and running water as veins and arteries, great oceans as hearts—sustaining ecosystems. All as an interconnected biome—a web of life living, at least on the surface, symbiotically… as prey, and as predator.
Iinang Xaadee—Herring People play a vital role in the ecosystem. They nurture, feed, give of themselves to keep beings alive in all realms— undersea, earth, and sky. When balance prevails, Herring People gather to dance in their great longhouse in such great numbers and with such vigour that the atmosphere overhead reverberates with their excitement. Now, Human Beings see Herring solely as a resource, blinded, not seeing their true value, only seeing monetary gain at the expense of the whole.” – April White

Sgaana Saahlaan Sdings [Framed]
Cori Savard
CA$950.00Serigraph, Edition 27 of 125
2022
Framed
“Sgaana Saahlaan Sdings means Two Finned Killerwhale. The imagery in this print focuses on the two dorsal fins. Attached to the body of the whale, they have no control over their direction or destination. The thin lines around the design represent the spray and the water that rolls off the body of the whale as it emerges from the depths to take a breath. With this new energy, it continues its journey, facing an ever-changing ocean landscape.
The first dorsal fin represents the discomfort and apprehension that comes with the unexpected changes in our lives. It braces itself for the next wave, the next plunge, engaging in a losing battle against the momentum of the whale. The thin lines between the dorsal fins form teeth, creating a mouth that represents a shared experience and a shift in our mindset. The second dorsal fin represents acceptance, resilience, and the positive energy that follows our ability to adapt. Once we recognize our apprehension, we are free to challenge it. To seek the positive within the negative and move forward with renewed energy.” – Cori Savard, 2022

Tide Walker [Framed]
Ben Davidson
Price upon requestSerigraph, Edition 46 of 77
2017
Framed
Ben Davidson’s Tide Walker is a remarkably expressive serigraph by one of the Northwest Coast’s foremost artists. The blend of traditional and contemporary formlines, as well as the use of rich and saturated colour, joins to create an aesthetic that is distinctly a Ben Davidson work.
Below are the artist’s own words regarding this piece:
“Tide Walker exists in the space between the land and the ocean. From afar, he appears as a dorsal fin, so we imagine his body beneath the waves. We are so desperate to be the first to see the killer whale that we allow our minds to complete his story before we have time to determine the truth. We are so swiftly lured into believing the surface story that we rarely take time to consider what lies beneath.” (Davidson, 2017).
Ben Davidson is an internationally-renowned contemporary First Nations artist. He is the son of Robert Davidson, also of international fame. Ben stays true to his Haida ancestry, while always pushing the boundaries of traditional artwork.
