Raining Gold 2012-17 Lisa Hageman Yahgujanaas (b.1972 Vancouver Canada)
This significant weaving incorporates the artist’s contemporary designs in a manner she describes as harmonious with ancestral robes. It is both a meditation on the strength of community in Haida culture and a reminder of the importance of extending collective work into global contexts. The bold yet intricate patterns honour the waters of Haida Gwaii, recalling the nurturing rains, the rivers and streams and the oceans she describes as “connecting us all.”
