Relationship
of Dependency
"This image is meant to reflect communication, working together and energy. Of the images and symbols traditionally used by the Coast Salish, I felt that the Raven would best symbolize these qualities. The Raven known for its creative powers, communication and transforming abilities is considered by many the most important creature symbolizing prestige and knowledge. This particular print depicts four Ravens coming together with the dawn of a new day (era) in the background. The position of the Ravens kind of gives one the impression that they are negotiating. There is a feeling of resolution and acceptability. The posture is meant to suggest that they are compatible and participating equally in consultation affecting understanding and creation of new objectives. The lines within the wings of the Raven and the movement created by these lines is to symbolize fluidity and energy." Susan Point Length 18" x Height 18.5" (46cm x 47cm)

Storm
Wind
This print shows a man within a whale's fin in a stormy sea. There are a few interpretations of such a motif. The wind in native belief is a spirit that blows the air or wisps by you creating a wind. The face super imposed on the whale demonstrates the symbiotic relationship of the wind spirit merging together with the Orca. This is indicative of the faces in the spindle whirl plates made in the 1800's.e Length 22" x Height 22" (56cm x 56cm) sold out |

This tradition has now been revitalized in the Musqueum tribe and is acknowledged and celebrated with pride in the artwork of Susan Point. Susan has created a piece that has concetric circles of varying depths outlined with "split U" pattern for the outside trim. The glass in about 1/4" thick and the patterns are deeply carved into the glass. Price $2500.00 Cd |
