Stalewasem T-Shirt
100% ring-spun cotton T-Shirt. Model is wearing a Medium; typically wears a Medium.
"This design was done for the Stalewasem bridge crossbeam on the East side, between Kwantlen and Musqueam territory. The design has 4 salmon, a frog with a face in its back representing its spirit, and then a human face at the bootom. The form is of a spindle whorl, an ancestral tool used to spin fibres into yarn for weaving. There are many versions of yarn spinning tools around the world, drop spindles being most common, but these larger thin convex ones with large spindles that would roll across the thigh of the individual spinning wool, are unique to Salish weaving technology. I am interested in how many points of our culture represent different layering, coming together, and transformation of materials and environments. This design is about the balance of ecosystems, frogs being sensitive beings, and the salmon representing the cycles and transference of nutrients up and down the rivers and out into the land. The human face represents us, and our role as human beings to maintain balance and care in how we navigate through the geography and ecosystems of any territory."
