ARTIST STATEMENT

Water is a daily concern for those who live near the Pacific Ocean. We experience its beauty, its life-giving powers, and its fragility. We also misuse it wantonly; billions of dollars and countless human hours are spent retrieving it and cleansing it. Life and death in one mighty resource.

Haida Waters is the dance of wild salmon programmed to climb unimaginable heights just to spawn.
