Artist / Curatorial Statement:
My Inspiration for this piece is my connection to our nature world. The Walnut (tree) grew within our traditional territory. Our Coast Salish tradition teaches us to respect all living things. It is an honour for me to portray our Ancestor who connects us to the Spirit World.
