Celtic Killerwhale Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$18,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“I began incorporating Celtic knotwork with Northwest Coast design in 1992. At the time, it was the beginning of the trend of embracing ones’ native ancestry – an annoying thing for those of us who have always been native. In protest, I decided to embrace my Scottish surname and feature Celtic knotwork in my work.
In principle, native design and knotwork are very compatible in that both styles deal with an energy that seeks to flow back on itself. I thought that incorporating an undulating formline in the split Killerwhale in this piece would show the similarity in the energy [between the two styles].” – Don Yeomans

24.5 x 36 x 2″ (each panel)
73.5 x 36 x 2″ (entire triptych)
“This is the second triptych I did for this show, and this time I chose a different approach. One giant figure across three boards. The design is an Eagle, using painted undulating formline. I used blue formline with red secondary, simply because it is one of my favourite colours.” – Don Yeomans

Raven Steals the Salmon from the Beaver House Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$18,000.00Yellow Cedar wood
The Haida origin story begins at the beginning of time when the great floods were just starting to recede. Raven is hungry and he craves food that is not his usual fare; he flies over to the mainland. He is greeted by two Beavers who are undergoing transformation to men, as this was the second period of time when animals transformed into humans, and began to inhabit the world.
Raven looks emaciated and so the Beavers take him home. It is a great plank house with a mysterious waterway hidden behind a beautifully painted screen. The Beavers pass back-and-forth through the screen to catch Salmon and brings them out to feast upon.
When the Beavers change back from men to Beavers, they leave the house to bring Raven tree bark to eat. Raven decides this is a wonderful opportunity to pass through the screen to retrieve some Salmon. When he goes through, he discovers a beautiful land of lakes and streams full of Salmon. Of course, he tries to take them all but they wiggle and slip away. Finally he rolls the entire carpet of landscape, places it in his beak and flies away so that he may lay it on his favorite islands. This is how Salmon came to be so abundant everywhere.

Eagle Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$12,500.00Yellow Cedar, Acrylic paint
The Eagle is seen as a symbol of prestige, power, peace, wisdom and friendship. Eagles one of the most prominent beings in the art and mythology of Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous culture, and claim both honour and high stature. They are respected for their intelligence, grace, and power, and can be associated with freedom and lofty pursuits. In artwork, the figure can be easily recognized by its hooked beak.
