“New Vancouver exhibit showcases the extraordinary work of Haida artist Jut-ke-Nay-Hazel Wilson,” by Stuart Derdeyn.
“In 2005, traditional artist Jut-ke-Nay-Hazel Wilson was inspired to create a series of large ceremonial textiles linked to moments in Haida lore and her own lived experiences.
A year later, she had produced a total of 51 ‘history robes’ documenting everything from pre-colonial life to logging to happy harvesting memories.
This month, the Museum of Anthropology presents I Use My Haida Eyes: The History Robes of Jut-ke-Nay-Hazel Wilson, a retrospective of some of her most significant 1 1/2-by-two-metre artworks that will fill the museum’s largest gallery.
