“As a contemporary Northwest Coast artist, the de-contextualization of Northwest Coast art is of great interest to me. By some scholars and Northwest Coast traditionalists, Northwest Coast ceremonial art has generally been perceived as de-contextualized when taken away from its ceremonial context. When the words and songs and dances are taken away from Northwest Coast art, it is perceived by some as being robbed of its meaning; hence the title “Con Text.” As a contemporary Coast Salish artist, one of the undertakings of my work is to create a new context for Coast Salish art through the utilization of text.”

Perpetual Salish Bentwood Box
Margaret August
CA$3,400.00Red Cedar wood, Yellow Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“This abstract design is actively moving forward practices that are rooted daily in their traditions and the issues of the present world. This design on a traditional bentwood box is to invite viewers to recognize the rich wealth of tradition inherent in the art of this region and to gain an understanding that, alongside its perpetuation, there are new ideas, inspirations, and contexts to which Salish artists today, respond and address.” – Margaret August 2024
Specific and unique to the Northwest Coast People is the bentwood or bent-corner box or container. A most outstanding item of the First Nations people, it is a made from one single plank of wood through a lengthy steaming process – a method strictly adapted by the coastal peoples.

Spinning through Time
Margaret August
CA$2,800.00Acrylic paint on canvas
“This is a contemporary Coast Salish spindle whorl design. Traditionally, the art displayed on spindle whorls was said to give the weaver a “trance-like” experience. The designs on these sacred heirlooms were said to give the wool spinner specific kinds of spiritual experiences for the intended purpose of healing, transformation and protection.
This design uses Coast Salish elements in a symmetrical pattern, for the intended purpose of giving the viewer a ‘spiritual awakening’. This type of experience is a subjective one but one that encompasses an infinite sense of truth and reality.” – Margaret August 2023

“Divine Momentum is inspired by a stone spindle whorl artifact. Spindle whorls were traditionally used for spinning fibers for the sole purpose of making textiles. This contemporary design symbolizes the revival of ancient Coast Salish practices and the continuation of our cultures.”
