Grant funded video project that covers a basic overview of Coast Salish art styles. This is the first in a series of three that are currently in editing post production.
Fantastic!!! Will be using this short film in my Anthropology of Art class at the University of Victoria this fall 2015. Well done, and thank you for this piece - to hear the concepts expressed by a Salish artist is a great way for students to learn about the art that surrounds them here in Lekwungen territory and at UVIC, and other Salish territories they travel through.
This is brilliant and so amazing in every sense of the meaning (artful, heartfelt, and knowledgeable)! I am so grateful to you for creating and sharing!
Kiaora! I'm a Tangata Whenua, " People of the Land," native of New Zealand. I see similarities between your culture and stories told in carving. We too have no written language, therefore history was told in carving, patterns related to our view of creation and our relationship to our environment. I find it very intriguing not only in its physical but spiritual connections and values. Thanks for sharing. Nga mihi.
I am interested in learning more about Coast Salish design. Do you have any references where you learned this information or good books that can expand on it? I appreciate it.
Unfortunately there aren't single sources for reference I can think of. I started to make these videos because there wasn't a single source. I contributed to the In the Spirit of the Ancestors catalog where I outlined some basic ideas and hopefully will revisit more videos sometime next year.
Qwalsius I appreciate it. I am learning formline (I am Tlingit) but want to know more about Coast Salish styles. Especially since I am going to Northwest Indian College and just have an interest in their style.
