Produktbeschreibung
For the past four decades, world-renowned Haida artist Clarence Mills (¿'aak'insk'us) has been creating artwork in the cultural tradition and style of his people, including a totem displayed at Expo 86 in Vancouver. He made history as the first Haida artist whose work was shown at the Louvre, and is presently carver-in-residence on Vancouver's Granville Island. Haida Book of Stories is a stunningly powerful poetic attempt to carve out the artist's aesthetic evolution. The artist's statement: "This book is about a boy that wanted to find something inside, things from being born half-and-half on Haida Gwaii. Its passages depict the art within through years of focus inside, outside, on myself. Finding art at a young age through creating made something from nothing, got somewhere by creating: Argillite, Cedar, Paper, Glass. The discovery that being quiet, calm, and in Mom's basement invented a style, a person, an artist." I feel Like I have been A tiny drop of water That started a puddle That overflowed To form a stream Then a river That eventually empties Into the ocean To become free -Clarence Mills (¿'aak'insk'us), November 2022
