Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. WINNER OF THE 2025 BILL DUTHIE BOOKSELLERS' CHOICE AWARD BRITISH COLUMBIA & YUKON BOOK PRIZESAn eighty-year overview of wood and argillite carving by Indigenous women artists on the Northwest Coast.Though women of the Northwest Coast have long carved poles, canoes, panels, and masks, many of these artists have not become as well known outside their communities as their male counterparts. These artists are cherished within their communities for helping to keep traditional carving practices alive, and for maintaining the dances, songs, and ceremonies that are intertwined with visual art production. This book, and an associated exhibition at the Audain Art Museum, gathers a range of sculptural formats by Indigenous women in order to expand the discourse of carving in the region.Both the exhibition and publication are co-curated by Dana Claxton, artist, filmmaker and head of the University of British Columbia's Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory; and Dr. Curtis Collins, the AAM's Director & Chief Curator. Commentaries by Skeena Reece, Claxton, and Marika Swan, and interviews with artists Dale Campbell and Mary Anne Barkhouse are presented alongside more than one hundred artworks from public and private collections across North America, including several newly commissioned pieces.Featured artists include:Ellen Neel (Kwakwaka'wakw, 19161966)Freda Diesing (Haida, 19252002)Doreen Jensen (Gitxsan, 19332009)Susan Point (Musqueam, b. 1952)Dale Campbell (Tahltan, b. 1954)Marianne Nicolson (Kwakwaka'wakw, b. 1969)Arlene Ness (Gitxsan, b. 1970s)Melanie Russ (Haida, b. 1977)Marika Swan (Nuu-chah-nulth, b. 1982)Morgan Asoyuf (Ts'msyen, b. 1984)Cori Savard (Haida, b. 1985)Cherish Alexander (Gitwangak, b. 1987)Stephanie Anderson (Wetsuwet'en, b. 1991)Veronica Waechter (Gitxsan, b. 1995) Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book consolidates our understanding of Dana Claxton's dominant and recurring themes-indigenous history, culture, beauty and spirituality. While Claxton's art often alludes to the destructive legacy of colonialism, it also celebrates the resurgence of First Nations' presence and contemporary identity. What emerges is an artist delivering works of ever greater power and conviction. With her expansive and genre-defying practice-photography, videos, mixed-media installations, text works, performances and curatorial work-she continues to critically reimagine the space of the gallery to be accessible for wider Indigenous audiences and to uphold new understandings of beauty.Dana Claxton has been unwavering in her dedication to her practice for over 25 years and continues to progress as an artist, creating sophisticated and poignant works that, as art historian Michelle La Flamme describes, "stimulate a much-needed dialogue on the power of the image, the role of the gaze, the importance of history, and the possibilities for articulating Aboriginal subjectivity." - Leila Timmins Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
