These artists are cherished within their communities for helping to keep traditional carving practices alive, and for maintaining the dances, songs, and ceremonies that are intertwined with visual art production. This book, and an associated exhibition at the Audain Art Museum, gathers a range of sculptural formats by Indigenous women in order to expand the discourse of carving in the region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth the exhibition and publication are co-curated by Dana Claxton, artist, filmmaker and head of the University of British Columbia's Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory; and Dr. Curtis Collins, the AAM's Director \u0026amp; Chief Curator. Commentaries by Skeena Reece, Claxton, and Marika Swan, and interviews with artists Dale Campbell and Mary Anne Barkhouse are presented alongside more than one hundred artworks from public and private collections across North America, including several newly commissioned pieces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeatured artists include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEllen Neel (Kwakwaka'wakw, 1916-1966)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreda Diesing (Haida, 1925-2002)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoreen Jensen (Gitxsan, 1933-2009)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSusan Point (Musqueam, b. 1952)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDale Campbell (Tahltan, b. 1954)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarianne Nicolson (Kwakwaka'wakw, b. 1969)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArlene Ness (Gitxsan, b. 1970s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelanie Russ (Haida, b. 1977)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarika Swan (Nuu-chah-nulth, b. 1982)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorgan Asoyuf (Ts'msyen, b. 1984)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCori Savard (Haida, b. 1985)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherish Alexander (Gitwangak, b. 1987)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStephanie Anderson (Wetsuwet'en, b. 1991)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVeronica Waechter (Gitxsan, b. 1995)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 10.47 x 9.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47456797687986,"sku":"9781773272542","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/adb37f311ed86768787c9d846420d797.webp?v=1778871457","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/curve-women-carvers-on-the-northwest-coast-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
