A Sample of the Haida Gwaii Canvases: 

November update:

Since returning from Haida Gwaii in late July, huge progress has been made on the paintings. It&#;s an infinite amount of material, and a finite amount of time, as there are two shows booked for the paintings in

Everything must be ready! So I cancelled a few things, and postponed others. To keep this cranky old body going, I upped my exercise, water intake, and sleep, but I draw the line at giving up chocolate, not even for Haida Gwaii. 

With a load of fresh canvas in stock, and with a little luck, paintings will keep slowly appearing off the end of my brush. 
It still feels like a wonderful dream.

K’uuna: Village on the Edge

K’uuna: Village on the Edge

HAIDA

The ancient Haida village of K'uuna Llnagaay was poised on the edge of the sea, on the edge of an island and, by the late s, on the sharp edge of change.

Approaching by water, visitors saw an array of giant poles strung along the beach, reaching for the sky. As they got closer, they could make out figures on the poles, and from them they could learn whose territory this was, who lived and died here, their history, and their beliefs.

Up from the sea rose the people of K’uuna and the ancient village of Haida. Inspired by the underwater supernaturals who made this possible, they erected cedar totems celebrating life. These totems then rejoin the earth from which they came as they erode in time.

This is where our clan, the Gakyals Kiigawaay (Raven clan)—the K’uuna Kun and the K’uuna Kiigawaay—trace our origins. As a people, we live on as the old houses and poles slowly return to the earth, back to nature. All Haida people identify with the village they come from. For those of us from K’uuna—a few hundred people today—this village is where we come from . . . this is who we are and shall remain.
