    Description

    This is a true Native cuff bracelet! At 1.5" wide and 6" long, it will fit a wrist between 6.25"-6.5" in circumference. It depicts the
    Earthquake Spirit
    , an entity that is always on the minds of those in the Pacific Northwest. Containing cedar trees and the personified
    Earthquake
    in the background, the foreground is dominated by the Pacific Ocean, orca whales, and an Indigenous canoe. So much detail!
    William Cook comes from a family of artists: his brother is established Kwakwaka'wakw artist Rande Cook, and his niece is emerging Kwakwaka'wakw artist Jazmine McCrimmon-Cook. He works in the traditional Kwakwaka'wakw style, and has worked with Kwakwaka'wakw artists Patrick Seaweed, Henry Nelson, and Frances Dick. William is primarily a jeweller, but he began creating cedar panels in 2013.
