Raven Song Rattle
Francis Horne Sr.
CA$12,000.00Yellow Cedar wood, Wax finish, Acrylic paint
“Many years ago, my grandfather shared with me the story of Raven and Wild Woman.
Raven rests high up on the branches of a cedar tree, sunlight reflecting off coal black wings. He turns a bright eye toward the sounds of laughter, head twisting first in one direction then the other, searching the forest floor. Raven calls out, a high-pitched whistle.
As his search continues, he spots the little ones running across the forest floor in search of the sweet tasting berries ripening in the hot sun. Alerted by the sharp whistling sound the children stop in their tracks. Raven calls out again only this time with words. Raven says, “walk over to me, this is where you will find the sweetest berries.”
The Wild Woman, hidden in the shadows, watches as the little ones easily follow Raven’s direction. Hungry for a taste of the little ones, she waits and watches as Raven easily gains their trust. Mimicking the Raven’s whistle Wild Woman is pleased to see the children head in her direction. Before the children realize they have been tricked, she has scooped them up in her basket [and carries them away].
Children are told this story as a warning.” – As told by Francis Horne Sr.

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
