St’át’imc Ceramics from the Pacific Northwest
"Celebrating and preserving St’át’imc cultural heritage through vessels that will endure

![Happy Alban Eiler! 🌼This weekend at Edgelands we will be celebrating the Spring Equinox and the start of the Ostara festival!
The #bees have been dancing, we have begun our #spring planting, and the old beithe [birch] trees on the high hills above North Ardminish are swaying in the wind. Even though the wind is still biting, we are happy to welcome some much needed warm sunshine as spring continues to emerge on the island.

![Antler, bone, ivory and baleen are materials used prominently in contemporary Inuit sculpture alongside stone. Inspired by ᓂᑯᑦᑕᐃ ᓵᒻᒪᔫᐊᓕ / Padloo Samayualie’s Antlers and Bones print we have been exploring the work of Inuit master carvers here at Edgelands this week 🔸
Antlers and bones are significant to Inuit for their abundantly useful qualities as well as their beauty. Antlers in particular are traditionally used to create utilitarian objects; such as snow knives, fishing rods, hunting whips as well as accessories like buckles and snow goggles. They can also be used as a materials for building ᐃᒡᓗᐃᑦ/igluit [house] structures.

![ᓱᕕᓇᐃ ᐊᓱᓇ / Shuvinai Ashoona is one of Kinngait's most vibrant rising stars. A 3rd generation artist who has gained recent international popularity, she is known for her vibrant and thought-provoking depictions of life in the Arctic.
Shuvinai primarily works in pen, ink, pencil and oil stick but is also known for her prints. Her monumental #drawings are visually complex and highly detailed #landscapes that challenge the existence of perceived borders between natural and #supernatural worlds.
As well as reimagining stories from Inuit oral tradition in new fantastical works, she also focuses on reflecting the ongoing transformative impacts of Arctic colonialism and #climatechange on her community and the landscapes of her home island of Dorset and the surrounding Qikiqtaaluk [Baffin Island] region.
We are delighted to host prints by Shuvinai as part of our From Ice Flows to Shore: Tales from the Arctic exhibition currently on show at Edgelands.
