Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

By Mary Anne Barkhouse, Kwakwaka’wakw (1961, Vancouver) - copper, bronze, stainless steel and stone.

'namaxsala is inspired by a story told to the artist, Mary Anne Barkhouse, by her grandfather Fred Cook. In the story, her grandfather helps a wolf cross a treacherous piece of water in a boat, on the West coast of Canada. “My grandfather’s stories always offered an alternative view for considering the world around me, “the artist remembers.” And so, I relate one of them here, to help negotiate cooperation with the “other” and inclusion of the wild.”

‘namaxsala reflects on human relationships with the natural world. The choice of copper and bronze speaks simultaneously to Kwakwaka’wakw tradition and contemporary ingenuity. The sculpture also connects with the totem poles and houses in the Grand Hall of the Canadian Museum of History.
