The cerulean blue of the ice represents hundreds of years of compression into extremely dense ice, capable of sculpting rocks and boulders.
Sitaantaagu (“the Glacier Behind the Town”) or Aak’wtaaksit (“the Glacier Behind the Little Lake”) by the Tlingit Indigenous Peoples, Mendenhall Glacier is receding at a rate faster than it is moving forward, a condition called negative mass balance.
Mendenhall has receded some 1.75 miles (2.82 km) since 1929.

SEALASKA HERITAGE INSTITUTE’S 10th BIENNIAL
NORTHWEST COAST JURIED
ART SHOW & COMPETITION
2020
Juror comment: An experiment, and difficult to execute in beadwork. Amazing and precise beadwork! It is too bad it is too heavy to actually use as regalia. It is fun to see sections of Chilkat weaving pulled out of their usual contexts … especially the wing-like geometric sections usually found on the backs of tunics. Chilkat design in beadwork is very rare, but it occasionally appears on old pieces. The beads are fit so tightly together.
President’s comment: A unique and extraordinary piece of artwork that represents and embodies the highest standards of the Northwest Coast art tradition. This piece epitomizes this year’s energy, innovation, and deep-rooted lineage.

Artist's statement:
This beaded Chilkat design wall hanging evolved from an initial whim of making a beaded Chilkat robe. After the 2016 Sealaska Heritage Juried Art Show where I received an honorable mention for two pieces I entered, the idea for this piece began: What would it look like if a Chilkat design was done with beads rather than weaving?
The design is beaded in separate squares on wool felt using 3-cut size 15 beads and each square has approximately 27,000 beads; the entire piece has approximately 350,000 beads.
The squares with the yellow and blue are easily identifiable as Chilkat designs. The squares with the lines are of a butterfly design. Initially I had wanted to do a formline butterfly in the middle of the piece, but realized as the piece progressed that I wanted to keep the integrity of the designs used in weaving.
Normally, when I bead, I put four beads down and go in between the two middle beads so my beading is flat, but I had the idea that I wanted it to resemble a Chilkat blanket and thought that I could make the piece look like it had the texture of weaving by putting three beads down at a time. Four diagonal pieces were also beaded to fill in the angles of the bottom of the design.
Once all beading was complete, braided spruce-root rope was sewn twice around each section. Once done, two, three, or five strands of the braided spruce rope were twisted together and sewn around and in between all of the sections.
I wanted to incorporate the warp and weft normally used in weaving and this is evident in the covering of stitches around the entire piece and in the fringe.
Now that this piece is complete the initial idea I had envisioned in my head and the rough sketch I did back in 2016 are almost an exact replication of the finished piece; the sheer weight is surprising and I can only imagine the actual weight a full size beaded robe would be.

ealaska Heritage Institute sponsored its first Juried Art Show & Competition in 2002, and since then it has become a biennial event held during Celebration, a major four-day dance-and-culture festival in Juneau hosted by the institute. SHI sponsors the art show in an effort to reaffirm the greatness of Northwest Coast art traditions and to promote the continued evolution of those traditions in Southeast Alaska.
The goals of the show are:
•to encourage and enhance the creation and production of Southeast Alaska Native objects of artistic value which are becoming rare;
•to stimulate and enhance the quality of artistic work among our Native artisans;
•and to encourage the development of new forms of art of purely Southeast Alaska Native form and design.
Northwest Coast art is unique in the world. Nothing on Earth compares to the great Northwest Coast formline designs and the monumental totem poles and clan houses that populate Haa Aani-OurLand-or to the intricate Chilkat and Ravenstail woven robes that can take years to complete.
For the 2022 show, artists competed in five divisions:
1. 2D and relief carving (relief carving; painting);
2. carving and sculpture (wood, metal);
3. weaving(Chilkat-inspired, Ravenstail, basketry);
4. sewing (vest,skin and fur, beadwork); and endangered arts (spruce root basketry).
Eight winning pieces from the 2020 virtual Juried Art Show are also on display.
Sealaska Heritage is a private nonprofit founded in 1980 to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska. Its goal is to promote cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding through public services and events. Find out more at www.sealaskaheritage.org.
