Bill Reid &
Charles Edinshaw are the two Canadian Artists that
inspired me to become a metal smith. I
was inspired to make this particular design after I visited the
Anthropology Museum in
Vancouver in March '06.
Within 24 hours of landing in Vancouver I was on my way to the
musuem on the UBC campus. It was one of my mandatory
pilgrimages. All the art I've studied for 20 years was
there on display.
The morning I left for the museum I woke to the sound of "hiya,
Hiya!". I looked outside the window in
Strathcona and saw some elderly folks doing Tai Chi in the
park. But something wasn't right. You're not
supposed to yell
Hiya in Tai Chi. I laughed when I saw the Crows and
Ravens yelling at them. Those birds really do imitate and
make fun of human beings.
I wanted to
make a design which incorporated spirals with bird/Corvid
motifs. If you look closely there are many characteristics
of birds in this piece. This is the beauty of abstract
design, every eye sees differently. It symbolizes
two halves of a whole, like two birds of a feather, in
constant motion.
It can be set with any stone of your choice. Each wing
measures about 2.5cm. Catalogue Number
