“Kwaguilth Sun,” cedar and copper mask by Junior Henderson. Junior’s exhuberant sun mask was the lead piece for Arctic Raven Gallery’s 10th anniversary show and is now the showpiece of the home’s dining area.
Expressed in this red cedar rendition of “Wolf’s Moon” by Rande Cook are the four different phases of the moon. From the four seasons to the four parts of the cycle of life for the salmon as it travels from the rivers only to return again, this number is echoed throughout Native culture as well as the rooms of this home.
Rande Cook’s “Sun” mask graced the invitation to our “Ten Years After” anniversary show. Although it looks custom designed for the home’s master bedroom, it was not. By carrying a large inventory and knowing what pieces are available from select artists, the gallery can often find the appropriate piece without needing to commission custom work.
Red cedar pole by Calvin Hunt welcomes visitors and gives a sense of place to the entrance of this dramatic cliff-side home overlooking the Salish Sea.
