Lyonel Grant. Ngāti Pikiao, Te Arawa. Glass Salmon Eggs, 2015 Etched glass 4 inch diameter

Transcription

1 Lyonel Grant Ngāti Pikiao, Te Arawa The design originates from the artist s vison of a salmon figure seen in the topography of the future site of the Indigenous Arts Campus at The Evergreen State College. There in the forest, a granite boulder was found and transformed by Grant into a salmon egg (lower left). The egg represents the mauri or life force of the building, and will be displayed in the Fiber Arts Studio. Contributions to the Fiber Arts Studio of $10,000 or more will allow the donor to select a personally-etched, hand-blown glass salmon egg.
