Sun Hawk Mask
Norman Tait
Price upon requestNorman Tait with Lucinda Turner
Alder wood, Copper, Cedar rope, Horse hair, Operculum shells, Acrylic paint, Leather
Norman Tait’s exceptional Sun Hawk Mask stems from his father’s clan, the Tlingit Nation ancestry, and primarily represents one of his father’s family crest figures. While this exquisite mask depicts elements of a human face, the additional features, such as the beak, allude to its supernatural connection. Constructed from Alder wood, the wood’s unique grain is a strong element within the design and is used to exemplify the mask’s delicate human-like structure. Furthermore, the addition of acrylic paint and the stark horsehair locks add life to this Humanized Supernatural-being.

Mighty Mouse Triptych
Don Yeomans
CA$38,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
35.75 x 23.5 x 2″ [each panel]
35.75 x 70.5 x 2″ [entire triptych]
In this stunning triptych, Don Yeomans’ depicts the legendary Mighty Mouse, a character that appears in many of the oral traditions from the Haida Nation. Various characters in these stories would often transform themselves into Mighty Mouse, who had the ability to listen in on others’ conversations and represented a means of escape from the situation.
While working on this piece, Yeomans claims to have taken a “multi-verse” approach to the triptych, in which each panel presents a different potential outcome for the story being told. Although the design itself remains uniform, all three panels feature a unique variation on the same blue-white-yellow colour scheme. Each variation represents a different outcome to the story, bringing the “multi-verse” approach to life.

Deconstructed Eagle Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$15,000.00Yellow Cedar wood
“This is one of the first pieces I carved for this show. It was abstract, in the sense that the parts of the bird had been rearranged to fit the circle. The main idea was to showcase a new style of design, where I use what I call, ‘undulating formline’. Traditional design uses shapes called ovoids and u-shapes, which in themselves are complete elements. In this new style, my elements go under and over and through. My first drawing of this style came to me about 20 years ago. Only in recent years have I been able to carve it to the level I imagined it at.” – Don Yeomans

Grey Wolf Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$12,500.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“In this instance, the idea of doing a Wolf happened last. It was the tone of grey that I found first, and decided I needed to use this colour. A Wolf design appeared in my mind automatically after that.” – Don Yeomans

Raven & Elephant Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$20,000.00Yellow Cedar wood
“In this panel I used Raven, which is my crest, to represent myself. The elephant represents any topic in a social setting that people try to avoid. So, this is more of an observation on my part that wherever people gather, there is always an elephant in the room.” – Don Yeomans
