Red Killerwhale Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$16,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“In 1978, I did my first silkscreen print design. It was a red formlined transforming Raven. The people I showed it to said it was not traditional, as most designs have black formline and red fillers. Out of fear, I did a traditional Dogfish and released it together with my so-called radical red Raven.
To this day, red formlines make me a little nervous – but with this Killerwhale being one of my first uses of undulating formline, I needed to be bold. People believe confidence is the absence of fear when it comes to being accepted. In my experience, the fear never leaves, you just keep your nerves to yourself. Maybe that’s why it’s called ‘self-confidence’.” – Don Yeomans

Killerwhale Panel

“For this whale, I wanted to add the light copper oxide blue that one finds on a lot of older carved boxes. I find it lends a retro look to carvings as well as adding one more beat to the rhyme of the design. [Working with] four colours plus an undulating formline made this panel an irresistible challenge for me. At times with this art, the improvisation that occurs during the rendering of a simple traditional creature is even more rewarding than attempting something totally innovative.” – Don Yeomans

White Raven Panel

CA$12,500.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“My wife Trace did a one-woman show several years ago called ‘Raven’s View’. The main focus was Raven – she, like myself, is a member of the Raven Clan. She used the White Raven to represent herself in many of her pieces. The White Raven was a strong symbol of how she grew up on Haida Gwaii as the daughter of a white father and a Haida mother – unaccepted by the natives around her for being lighter.
I carved this White Raven using undulating formlines to honour the fact that Trace is proud of her white heritage, as well as of being Haida.” – Don Yeomans

‘Three Hummingbirds’ Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$16,000.00Red Cedar wood
“Our backyard is a constant swarm of hummingbirds [that] gathers around the feeder. Two hummingbirds can sometimes share, but three birds on one feeder is war.
In this panel design, there are three sections of wings and feet, while the central area has a pinwheel-like arrangement indicating three mouths and beaks. In the very centre is one eye, which, ironically, they share despite battling over one feeder.” – Don Yeomans
