Northwest Coast Hats
Description: You can't go wrong with Northwest coast Haida art, it's been popular for decades. These First Nations designs are ideal for apparel and always look good. Formline is an indigenous art made by the First Nation people of Northwest coast of North America. The term formline is invented by Bill Holm. We use the word since 1965, but the art is many hundreds of years old. The idea is to create a flowing continuous line with increasing and decreasing thickness. We get negative spaces with a dominant black outline. The negative spaces are filled with formline type ornaments or elements. The main forms are ovoids, U forms and S forms. With these forms the artist composes a complete formline.
Description: In the Siletz language, Yachats means “dark water at the foot of the mountain,” and the Oregon Coast Range, surging ocean waters, and tide pools sunk in the black basalt of the shoreline make the name altogether appropriate. Located in a very unique spot, Yachats (pronounced YAH-hots) is widely regarded as the 'Gem of the Oregon Coast'. Instead of sandy beaches, much of the coastline near Yachats is composed of rugged black basalt that produces surging sea landmarks like Devil’s Churn, Spouting Horn, and Thor’s Well. Phenomenal views can be seen from Cape Perpetua, the highest viewpoint on the Oregon Coast, located just a few miles south of town. At the 2010 census, the population was 690, and was named one of the "Ten Coolest Small Towns."
Description: Prey and Predator. That is the theme of my new Haida formline styled otter chasing salmon drawing.
