Description | May 21st, 1957 Patrick Amos was born in Yuquot or Friendly Cove, British Columbia, Canada. Yuquot is a small village located on Nootka Island situated along the west coast of Vancouver Island and is extremely important to the Mowachaht and Muchalaht peoples. Amos is a member of the Mowachaht First Nation and is very active within his community. In 1976 Patrick began working for the Provincial Museum in Victoria in the linguistics department where he began illustrating. His illustrations were so well received by the Museum that he collaborated with the Museum to produce limited edition prints. This developed a strong interest to pursue other media such as wood. In 1979 he apprenticed under Tony Hunt Sr., an established and highly respected Northwest Coast Kwakwaka’wakw artist, and was taught the basic techniques of carving. A few years later, he was hired by the Royal BC Museum in Victoria to assist in carving a totem pole with Tim Paul, his stepfather and mentor. Patrick is a versatile and experienced artist whose contemporary pieces carry the traditional Nuu-chah-nulth distinction while maintaining simplicity. He illustrates limited edition prints, carves masks, rattles, bowls and totem poles and thus he is highly respected and sought after artist. |

Journey of Hope – Blue

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.

“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.”
