“Save the Last Dance For Me” Panel
Kyran Yeomans
SOLDRed Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“This stop on our tour (where you are standing currently in the gallery reading this, or through the digital ethers), we see that the elements and nutrients of a shredded, disposed-of salmon carcass disperse back into the waterways to continue nourishing yet smaller creatures, even after death. Further downstream, the vitalized water then finds its way – via streams and rivers themselves, or through the water cycle – to provide nutrients and support to the essential [cedar trees] used for so much. In turn, the cedar wood panel allows the carved salmon to emerge, creating a cyclical relationship within the piece, both physically as well as metaphorically. This piece may serve as a monument – a totem, if you will – to the salmon. Bounteous and tasty.
For this piece, one possible interpretation has the salmon’s depiction here in a reversal of the typical ‘circling-bird-of-prey-up-overhead’ scenario. Salmon, playfully leading its chosen partner, Eagle, in dance through the fluidity of each step in the life cycle. A partnership.” – Kyran Yeomans -

“The White Whale” Panel
Kyran Yeomans
CA$8,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“The idea of having a piece which could represent the ever-moving finish line, something always just out of reach, was the starting point for this piece. We can have ideals or goals as motivation to be moving in a certain direction, but to do so without an appreciation of the scenic route we take on the way to meet these goals would mean opportunities and reflections lost.
Mocha Dick – the white sperm whale from the 1800’s that birthed the expression ‘white whale’ as representing something that is obsessively pursued – made the waters of the southern Pacific its home. Here in this piece, its spirit lives on, awaiting its new home where it may bring peace of mind and heart to those who have at long last found their White Whale.” – Kyran Yeomans

“Birth of an Idea” Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$18,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“Originally, this panel was a naked yellow cedar board, but I added the white to highlight the undulating formlines, which are easier to see on a monochromatic surface. The main character is basically a mighty mouse, abstracted to convey how ideas emerge from my mind’s eye towards the hands – or in this case, the paw of the mighty mouse. The condensed figure within the eye is an embryonic idea.
Yup, that’s how they all look to me!” – Don Yeomans -
Bear, Frog, Killerwhale, Raven & Eagle Chest
Don Yeomans
Price upon requestRed Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“This was the last chest made by my friend, Larry Rosso, before he died. In fact, I removed some wood from the front side, as he had already begun carving it. My goal in designing this large box was to make each side as interesting as the front. Quite often, only the front side of the chests were given special attention, with the back and side designs being so much weaker and ill-defined.
The front side [of this chest] is a Grizzly and a Frog, while the back is a split Killerwhale. A Raven adorns one side, with an Eagle on the other.”

Leaping Killerwhale Talking Stick
Don Yeomans
SOLDYellow Cedar wood
76 x 5.25 x 10.25 (talking stick only)
78.25 x 8 x 10.25 (including base)
“A talking stick is literally a miniature totem pole. Like a totem pole, the figures that adorn them are crests and stories that belong to a particular chief. In essence, the stick symbolizes the owner’s bloodline. When I do a talking stick, the characters I choose are not to define who owns it. My job is just to make an interesting sculptural piece. From top to bottom, the pole figures [on this piece] are Beaver and Frog, Raven and Frog, and, lastly, Bear and Human. The very top features a leaping Killerwhale.
Ironically, the last job I did for Bill Reid was the talking stick for the ‘Spirit of Haida Gwaii.’ My design, which included a leaping Killerwhale, was scrapped for copying an existing carving in the Smithsonian, a walking stick. ‘No time to get fancy,’ said Bill. So, I made his copy to meet the deadline, after which Bill decided that maybe we had time now to put my whale on top. Needless to say, I declined to do the job and saved my whale for my own talking stick.” – Don Yeomans
