Description of work
"Salish Gifts" is a series of four sculptural seating vessels created by Musqueam artist Susan Point using traditional symbols to celebrate her people's culture and the importance of the Fraser River to the Musqueam. Original Coast Salish designs are cast into concrete baskets and bronze spindle whorl lids, which then rest on traditional reed mats represented by colourful stone tile. Original old growth cedar spindle whorl carvings, used to create the cast bronze lids for "Salish Gifts" are also on display at the office lobby at 450 SW Marine Drive.
