Haida Manga - "Cliff & Iona" 2007
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas
"Cliff and Iona" was done prior to the
UBC Museum of Anthropology's installation of Michael's Meddling in the
Museum. This set the stage for the installation.
Here you will see Michael's favorite
character of the installation which of course is our friend "Cliff".
You need to take a look at our little
friend the Raven called Iona at the bottom taking a pee in the ocean below the cliff's where
the frog is on looking in total disgust then Cliff is just taking in the
wonderful view. A another great work from our Haida Manga guy....
umm lets think Iona, Fraser River and
the number 1 and 2 .... running into it.. "yikes" says MNY

Haida Manga - "Tulip Dancer"
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas
Acrylic on Canvas painting completed November, 2006 on
76cm x 92cm x 5cm canvas.
"Tulip Dancer" is a work on canvas
and is only one of the very few Haida Manga works on cloth. Like the
very first ever HM work on cloth, "Mouldy Forehead" now in private
collection in Florida, "Tulip Dancer" anticipates the current exhibit at
the Museum of Anthropology by the use of copper leaf. Due to other
commitments including a contract to produce a series of 112 original
works on paper for a 2009 book of HM, more canvas pieces will be
uncommon from some time.

Haida - "TAAN" Haida Bear
Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas
Rare printers proof serigraph (silk
screen) - 1977 number of prints available is unknown
Michael had this
to say about TAAN;
“The print is
named Taan- a bear print from a distant past.
If I recall it is
a silk screen and the test results of a brief training experience I
enjoyed with Glenn Woods before moving home to train under Robert
Davidson (along with fellow students Reg Davidson, Jim Hart, Don Yeomans)

This story is a blend of accounts recorded at the turn of
the last century in three of the once numerous dialects of the Haida
language. I have combined elements from these accounts into a newly
constructed whole. Be cautioned that these images are interpretations
informed by my own cultural composition and life experiences. This is a
contemporary rendering of a worldview first expressed in different times
and probably for different reasons...
I have restrained myself from writing an extensive opinion limiting my
retelling to a brief text and illustrations. This should suffice to give
the engaged reader a hint of the amazing concepts which ripple through
this shamanic tale and remain a substantial element of that dynamic
living society of Indigenous Peoples called Haida.

MICHAEL NICOLL YAHGULANAAS
One of the coolest painters on this planet. Michael has
simply blown me away with his new creation
Haida Manga - "The Head Waiter"
The story and inspiration was by John Robson's
|
(Robson married Qwa'Kuna, the widowed mother of Charles
Edenshaw (Michael's Great Great Grandfather). Robson
taught his stepson many carving skills and worked on a
number of poles with him, which explains the points of
similarity in their styles. ) |
