Forces Of Nature: Northwest Coast Indigenous Jewellery

At the gallery’s invitation, more than 15 First Nations artists have created jewellery in response to the dramatic natural environment and natural phenomena – wind, rain, earthquakes, pounding surf – that characterize the Northwest Coast. Working with hand-engraved silver, along with seashells, gems, copper and other precious metals, artists such as Shawn Edenshaw, Landon Gunn, Corrine Hunt, David Neel and Jennifer Younger evoke a powerful sense of place and its intersection with cultural identity.
