This print was created during the Wachiay Studio Artist Residency in July 2024. Danika hand pulled each of these serigraph prints, including exposing screens & mixing custom colours, with the guidance of Andy MacDougall and Emily Thiessen in Courtenay, BC. With support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
“The world was once cloaked in darkness, with only a dim copper light. The Four Carpenters created Qwawx (raven) from a piece of charcoal, and his cunning enabled him to steal the globe of light from Alhkw’ntam’s (creator’s) longhouse. Raven released the sun, moon, and stars, bringing light and joy to the world. Qwaxw, is not just a bird but a symbol of transformation, cunning, and creation.”
