I've just started posting pictures from our trip to Alaska, but I have to post this one to show the work that my husband does. This is a sun mask that he created for his Mom's birthday a year or so ago. This is actually his second piece. I will get a picture of his first piece - a bear mask - up here eventually, but there's no telling when, since I'm trying to just let myself post whatever I feel like posting at the moment - no plan in sight...at least, for now.
When I first encountered First Nation art, I wasn't a big fan. My art preferences were heavily influenced by Western European prejudices, and it took me a while to warm up to this art form. I'm hooked now, though, and love the work that provides my DH inspiration, as well as the work he produces himself.
