Artist Statement

Feast Dish in the shape of a west coast style canoe. Tribes on the Westcoast often carved amazing feast dishes when hosting large potlatches. These remarkable displays of artwork were always full of amazing food from the land & Sea. Naturals oils from the fish would give the piece a natural stain that cannot be duplicated but the modern stain on this piece does bring out the natural beauty in the grains of the ancient cedar in which it was made.
