All That Glitters - Bentwood Box
Paul Windsor
SOLD
6 1/2" x 5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
On this steam-bent box are ocean-traveling salmon on the “red-eye” making transition from night beneath glittering stars into dusk, sunrise, and day. Salmon glitter like gold to anticipating fishermen, and there is a fisherman on the box eagerly awaiting his catch. To portray this story, I morphed together Tide Woman and Thunderbird to play with the eye and create effect. Tide Woman is a supernatural woman in Haisla story and Thunderbird is a supernatural bird. The lid is decorated with a starfish. It brings us from the highest forces of the galaxy to the glitter of vivid colour and shine at the lowest floors of the ocean...where even in the darkness brightness thrives. - Paul Windsor
