The Copper Maker

As I Work Within The Traditional Northwest Coast Kwagu'L Style, I Am Reminded Of The Diversity, Spirituality, Transformation And Meaning Of Our Kwakwaka'Wakw Culture. The Subject, Design Elements And Colors Are Elements That Contribute To My Inspiration. I Most Enjoy Working With Western Red Cedar, And Am Particularly Interested In Carving Totem Poles, Masks And Dance Outfits. There Are Certain Elements That Represent The Unifying Symbolism Of Various Animals And Legends Which I Follow Through The Knowledge And Teachings Of My Chiefs, Elders And Artists.
