Iinang Xaadee – Guud (Eagle) II

(For inquiries on custom framing, please contact the gallery)
“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

Weavers & Wool

(For inquiries in Custom Framing, please contact the gallery)
“This print, titled Weavers and Wool, depicts two Salish Wool Dogs, and is an homage to the role weavers and dog breeders played in shaping Coast Salish culture. The Salish Wool Dog was the only breed of dog in pre-contact North America that was created and maintained through the practice of animal husbandry.
Through selective breeding, the Coast Salish people maintained a large population of small dogs with thick woolly hair that could be sheered and spun into yarn. This meant, unlike their coastal neighbors, the Coast Salish had a steady supply of wool that allowed them to foster a prolific weaving tradition. Female weavers used the wool to create the classic Coast Salish blankets that were worn by Siem (noble ones). The wool was also an important adornment on many ceremonial objects and regalia. Due to the importance of weaving in Salish culture, the spindle whorls became an object of abundance, many of which were carved with classic Coast Salish imagery. Even today, contemporary Salish artist create prints, panels, glass works, stone works, (etc.) all in the form of the spindle whorl.
The practice of breeding wool dogs had been practiced for at least 1700 years according to archeological research. Since the dog’s woolly coat was due to a recessive gene, it had required a tremendous amount of work to keep the wool dogs separated from the semi-wild hunting dogs to keep the bloodline pure. So, when Europeans introduced sheep wool to the Salish, the practice of dog breeding was doomed. Since sheep are large, grass-feeding farm-animals — rather than small, meat-eating pets, they were able to generate more wool for far less labour and resources. Therefore, it became too costly to maintain the wool-dogs bloodline, so they began interbreeding with the hunting dogs and European breeds — then quickly vanished.
Even though the Salish wool dog may be lost forever, it’s legacy lives on in Salish culture: wool still adorns most ceremonial objects, Salish blankets are still worn as regalia, and the spindle whorl has become an icon of Coast Salish art. So with this print, I want to honour the Salish wool dog, Salish dog-breeders, and Salish weavers that helped give Coast Salish culture its unique identity.” – Dylan Thomas

Odyssey (Silver)
Corey Moraes
CA$200.00Serigraph, Edition of 55
2021
Unframed
(For inquiries on Custom Framing, please contact the gallery)
Corey Moraes’ first full edition of serigraphs – a form line skull design available in silver or gold: “Odyssey” explores the notion of life journeys. Though each path is different for all, our experiences share similarities when viewed through a human lens – deep down we are all the same. Cultures and belief systems are merely window dressing – the outermost of many layers that cover our bones.
Homer’s epic poem “The Odyssey” tells of the long, arduous path for Odysseus, and for us, yet we all long for, and desire a greater calling – a higher purpose. “As we navigate our journey”, Moraes says, “our chosen destination, our life experiences (both good and bad), determine our identity”.
“How do we interpret our reflection? What do we see?”, asks Corey. “Is it reality, or merely what we want to see?” The layers covering that which is the same in all of us; our bones; our foundation.

“This print depicts the Coast Salish Thunderbird, and they symbolize power, protection, and strength. They are often seen as the most powerful of all spirits and can also transform into human form by opening his head up like a mask and taking his feathers off as if they were a mere blanket.” – Margaret August

“Divine Momentum is inspired by a stone spindle whorl artifact. Spindle whorls were traditionally used for spinning fibers for the sole purpose of making textiles. This contemporary design symbolizes the revival of ancient Coast Salish practices and the continuation of our cultures.”
