“Birth of an Idea” Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$18,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“Originally, this panel was a naked yellow cedar board, but I added the white to highlight the undulating formlines, which are easier to see on a monochromatic surface. The main character is basically a mighty mouse, abstracted to convey how ideas emerge from my mind’s eye towards the hands – or in this case, the paw of the mighty mouse. The condensed figure within the eye is an embryonic idea.
Yup, that’s how they all look to me!” – Don Yeomans

“When I decided to carve a Moon mask, I wanted it to depict something beyond Haida legend. Traditionally, Raven is represented with the Sun and Moon because of his role in placing these heavenly elements into our sky. With my mask, the female Moon is surrounded by two Ravens – a male and female. They represent myself and my wife Trace, as we are both from the Haida Raven clan. Looking at the stars and moon on clear nights just happens to be one of our favourite things to do.” – Don Yeomans

Raven & Frog Totem Pole

Don Yeoman’s Raven & Frog Totem Pole demonstrates the artist’s mastery of cedar wood, particularly in his depth of carving. Yeoman’s decision to leave the pole unpainted serves to utilize a more minimalist approach and highlight the rich beauty of the wood.
Cedar wood is strong, lightweight, and extremely versatile. These qualities lend well to carving, and result in a wood that can be used to create a wide variety of objects.
The Raven is regarded as the Hero, Creator, Transformer, and the most important of all creatures to the coastal First Nations peoples. He is also known as the Trickster because of his wit and sense of humor. His legendary antics were often motivated by insatiable greed, and he loved to tease, to cheat, to woo and to trick. In the oral traditions of the Northwest Coast, Raven is credited with releasing the Sun, and creating the Moon, Stars and the Universe. In Haida culture, Raven is also said to have discovered mankind in a clamshell.
Frogs symbolize new life, good fortune, stability, and communication. They are associated with great wealth and prosperity. As a creature that lives both in water and on land, the Frog is revered for its adaptability, knowledge, and ability to inhabit both natural and supernatural realms. Frogs are the primary spirit helpers of shamans, usually representing the common ground or voice of the people. As a prominent sharer of knowledge, Frog is often shown in artistic depictions as touching its tongue to another figure in an expression of sharing.
