Patrick Leach
CA$350.00Porcelain, Engraved with Interior Glaze
On Patrick Leach’s pottery, the final touches are carefully hand-carved landscapes, geometric designs, and scenes borrowed from ancient rock paintings called pictographs. These designs are either replicas of, or inspired by, the red ochre pictographs found in Stein Valley near Leach’s childhood home. Leach frequently employs contrasting bands of red ochre glaze to represent earth, blue for sky, yellow for sunrise or orange for sunset.

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
