Star Face Pendant
Lyle Wilson
CA$5,400.0018K Yellow Gold, Abalone shell, Engraved, Textured, Repoussé, Chased
2012“The story of ‘Raven Releasing the Light’ has several versions depending upon the teller and the Pacific Northwest Coast group. In some versions, the sun is featured, while in others the moon or stars are included. In this pendant, I played around with the idea of using a star; it’s a theme I want to keep on pursuing because it’s intriguing to me to take bits and pieces of a traditional tale and expand it in a way that respects the original intent. As far as I know, a Star is not really widely used in Pacific Northwest Coast art.”

Ovoid Eyespot #3 Pendant: Human
Lyle Wilson
CA$5,100.0018K Yellow Gold, Abalone shell, Engraved, Textured, Repoussé, Chased
2012“For this series, the inspiration came from thinking about the eyespot markings on the wings of young skatefish; as such markings are credited with the beginning of the famous Pacific Northwest Coast (PNC) Ovoid. The original markings are solid black spots, encircled by a fine line.
I wanted to use the same circular format as a young skatefish’s markings as traditionally as can be, but with variations on each face. There’s a strong ‘pull’ that keeps an artist coming back to the more traditional, straightforward depictions of PNC faces. To those of us who grew up hunting, gathering and fishing, I think such a ‘pull’ is connected to that traditional upbringing; and that sort of familiarity makes us want to go back, just to remind us of our roots again.”
