KIHL 'YAHDA Christian White
EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED
"When you look at argillite carvings, it's not just about the technical skill; it's the stories, the history, and the connections embedded in the stone, Every piece carries something deeper than what you see on the surface."
-KIHL 'YAHDA (CHRISTIAN WHITE)
As Christian reminds us, everything is connected and Haida Gwaii provides all that we need to thrive and to be creative. The land and sea, the Supernatural beings and our Kuníisii (Ancestors) are all woven, carved and sewn into our regalia and celebrated in Potlatch and in everyday life.
It has been like this since time immemorial.
Argillite and cedar have been transformed into masterpieces by Haida artisans for generations.
Christian is amongst the greats who have taken on this tradition of transforming argillite and cedar into masterpieces.
