Description: Shell Earring – Limited Edition Art Collection
The Haida Wolf is symbolic of loyalty, co-operation, sacrifice and family. Wolves mate for life and maintain life-long alliances with each other. As swift hunters, they remind us that the pack’s wellbeing overrides single-minded desires.
Tamara’s inspiration for her shell jewellery is found in old ceremonial artifacts.
Tamara signs her work not with her name, but with her status number. Her decision to do so draws attention to the continuing dehumanising oversight of Indigenous people enforced by the American and Canadian governments.
Materials: Mother of Pearl shell, silver findings, ink
