This extraordinary piece stands as a resplendent tribute to one of the Pacific Northwest Coast’s paramount and revered sources of vitality: the Salmon. Salmon, an integral and indispensable facet of life in this region, has left an indelible imprint on the cultures, interactions, technologies, and spiritual beliefs of the Pacific Northwest Indigenous communities.
“Water gives energy to the salmon.” – Don Yeomans
In this quote, the artist encapsulates the spiritual and life-sustaining essence bestowed upon this remarkable creature. Revered as a gift from the Creator, Salmon transcends its physical form to embody abundance, regeneration, self-sacrifice, and perseverance. The shape of the body allows Salmon to defy gravity as it dances upstream to fulfil its essential role within the cycle of our lives.
This masterpiece skillfully converges nine distinct Salmon into a harmonious whole, thereby creating a symbol of unification that mirrors the interconnectedness of our existence.
Each meticulously rendered Salmon pays homage to the mastery of the artist as well as the intricate dance of life and energy that defines the West Coast Indigenous communities.

Supernatural Eye Sculpture
Robert Davidson RCA
Price upon requestEpoxy Powder-Coasted Aluminum, Granite base
2007
Limited edition of 5
Davidson’s inspiration in creating this contemporary sculpture was the many supernatural beings that dwell on the Haida Gwaii Islands.
First, Davidson worked from drawings and then manipulated cut-out cards subtly before moving to prototyping the piece in different materials, sizes, and colours. Made from aluminum cut by a water-jet process, this sculpture’s thick curved planar form evokes the cut-outs used in making appliquéd blankets. Its sculptural design is innovative in its reliance on form and line and its use of negative space to create the image of the eye.
The second edition of Supernatural Eye is currently in the collection of the National Gallery in Ottawa.
