"This is a reflection of Coast Salish spindle whorls. Spindle whorls are important for me personally as a Coast Salish weaver, but also as a designer. They are recognized as 'teachers' of contemporary Coast Salish visual design. They are women’s tools, telling stories or connecting to histories that are part of their lives. The word for spun yarn in SENĆOŦEN is the same word for work, as preparing the fibres was such a tedious job."
