Title: Dilaka - a tribute to the Salmon eating people of the Northwest Coast by artist Kolten Khasalus Grant, a member of the Kwakiulth First Nation with relations to the Baker family.
Kolten used a stunning piece of red cedar, please have a close look at the grain, its just brilliant. On the left side it's very prominent while the grain on the right side of the face is very fine... Kolten saw that right away when he started the mask and used it accordingly to give it even more expression. You can tell he loves his art! The painting is done in a soft green - the salmon is painted in the negative space. different and gorgeous. And as always - I'm just in love with the eyes of Kolten's masks - they are just looking right at you, astonishing! Black horse tail hair. Operculum teeth!
