Design: Ovoid – shapes in Coast Salish art are built on a unique set of shapes including circles, ovals, crescents, trigons, and four-point stars. The arrangement of these overlapping shapes creates a framework, often emphasising the negative space created by crescents and trigons. These elements are stretched, curved, and arranged to form meaningful designs and can be influenced by the tradition of relief carving.
Whero in Māori means Red
Philosophy: The team of Copper Canoe Woman choose every day to honor the earth, and they showcase this through their designs. One of their core beliefs is that we are part of the earth and the earth is part of us.
When you understand your interconnection with the animals and land, you understand the role you serve within the ecosystem. We create pieces inspired by the world around us. They bring awareness to the beauty of the natural world and our inherent responsibility to preserve and protect it.
