Description | Gitksan Nation Daniel Yunkws is a former apprentice of noted Gitksan artist, Philip Janze, who educated Daniel on various wood and jewelry carving techniques. After completing his apprenticeship, Daniel began to explore the combination of both aspects of his heritage; his Gitksan side and his Celtic side. Primarily he experimented in silver, creating lovely fluid designs in which his pairing of forms in a whimsical approach set him apart from his peers. Not only did he enjoy experimenting with silver and gold, but continued to further his carving techniques in wood. Currently, Daniel primarily works in maple, alder, cedar, silver and gold, but his medium of choice depends on what he is able to discover. Creating truly beautiful images within each piece, Daniel is a gifted artist whose innovations and unique depictions show the evolution of Gitksan art for future generations to embrace and understand. He is well on his way to furthering his career as an accomplished northern artist who already boasts a strong following. |

Iksduq’iya & Qolun (Eagle & Beaver) Box
Lyle Wilson
Price upon requestSterling Silver, Engraved and Textured on Hollow-ware2015
“My father’s Eagle Clan adopted me, but I was actually born into my mother’s Beaver Clan. Since the Haisla followed a matrilineal system, whereby every child was automatically included into its mother’s clan, my unusual adoption was due to the circumstances of the Eagle Clan having so many of its members die. Due to the early and unfamiliar diseases, everyone feared the clan would eventually become extinct.
I’ve always loved the look of a full-size, traditional wooden bent-box and liked the idea of a smaller, silver box using the same traditional proportions. It adds a unique sculptural look to any small box which, once seen, becomes a more appreciated detail with every subsequent examination. The box’s construction technique is very deceptive; it looks solid but is actually a box-within-a-box, with the hollow spaces between each ‘box’ allowing for visually thicker walls. For this box, I decided to honor my connections to both Haisla Clans – Beaver and Eagle – by engraving each on one-half of the box. The box’s lid has another Eagle engraved on the top, and the Halibut, a sub-crest shared by both clans, is engraved around the edges.”
