This installation was completed in Stanley Park about a month ago and I only got around to seeing it on Saturday with Mike. The Coast Salish do not “do”totems, so their work has not been included in the totem exhibit up to this point. The work of Susan Point is incredibly beautiful and how wonderful to finally have the Salish work represented here in their original land
—which by the way they were turfed from in the 1880’s. Yes, ironic.
It’s been almost 5 years since we’ve lived in British Columbia. This is finally the year when we’ve promised ourselves to explore as much as we can. I know I’d make a lousy tour guide so I will not give up my knitting day job.
