Artist | Joshua Watts |
Nation | Coast Salish / Nuu-chah-nulth Nations |
Description | Coast Salish / Nuu-chah-nulth Nations Born in 1995, Joshua Watts was raised in Squamish, British Columbia. While he is both Nuu-chah-nulth and Coast Salish, he had little connection to his culture growing up. In his youth, he was frequently taking part in canoe races, and it was then Joshua developed a passion for carving. At the age of eighteen, Joshua began an apprenticeship with Salish artist Ray Natraoro. Under his guidance, he learned how to build canoes and then artistic sculptures such as totem poles and masks. It was during this apprenticeship that Joshua truly began participating in Salish culture and learning the traditions and teachings of his ancestors, which have had a significant influence on his lifestyle choices. Today, Joshua always acknowledges his Indigenous roots foremost, understanding the importance of his cultural lineage. Since reconnecting with his heritage, Joshua has become a strong advocate for cultural revitalization amongst Indigenous youth, dedicating much of his practice towards youth development and mentorship programs. He is currently focused on leading research towards cultural revitalization, facilitating land-based learning initiatives, and uniting First Nations communities through art and culture. He is also continually discovering the beauty of his ancestry through the art of his people. Joshua Watts is a recent two-time recipient of the YVR Art Foundation’s Emerging Artist Award. He has also received their Frank O’Neill Award in recognition of his ongoing contributions to cultural revitalization in First Nations communities. In just a few short years, Joshua has firmly established himself as an influential artist and cultural leader with a bright future. |

Also available in Red
Joe Wilson has created this limited-edition print series illustrating the traditional Coast Salish whorl in which both the male and female Killerwhale are represented in balance and harmony with one another.
The ‘Journey of Hope’ was designed specifically for the survivors of the tsunami in Japan in 2011 to pay tribute to their survival instincts as well as their future hopes and dreams.
The Killerwhale is an important crest symbol, associated with power, strength, dignity and communication.
The Killerwhale is thought to be the reincarnation of great chiefs so they are the majestic protectors of mankind. Many believed that those lost at sea were carried away by the Orca to their villages deep within the ocean and they would be guided to a new life and a new beginning.
Killerwhale Clans live in Killerwhale Villages deep within the ocean; when at home they remove their skins and live as large humans. Mating once for life and thought to be the reincarnation of great chiefs, these majestic animals are the protectors of mankind. While known to capsize canoes and carry the inhabitants to their Killerwhale Village, they are also reputed to act as guides to humans caught within storms.

“This contemporary Coast Salish design, titled “Pro Creation”, through the act of creativity,is a celebration of the act of procreation. In the design, two salmon heads are depicted, the negative crescentric space simultaneously defining their mouths, as well as defining each other’s lower jaw. This simple visual punning represents interconnectedness through procreation. This simple visual punning also represents the beginnings of the offspring of the two salmon. In some of philosophical musings, I have often wondered which act is great, creation or procreation? I came to the conclusion that procreation is great than creation, since creation, as a human culture, woudl not exist without procreation. I also felt that the lIFe of one human being is much greater than the body of work of any artist. Recently though, I have felt that creatively creates culture, and makes the procreation of many generations possible. So I now see both creation and procreation as both being great acts of humankind.
On a personal leve, althought I am not really “pro-choice” or “pro-life”, my myOTHER , when she was a sixteen year old girl with me, was considering abortion. With love for her, I am thankful that she gave birth to me. If she never procreated me, the creativity of my lIFe would not exisit.”
