Sčtə́ŋxwən Mákw̕ aʔ
Anthony May
Upcycled Tree Trunk, 2023
The artist says: "The title Sčtə́ŋxʷən Mák̕ʷaʔ (shCH-t(uh)-ng-whuhn mah-QU-ah-) comes from words used in Klallam languages. It translates roughly as: Earth/Land Grave. This place-marker of sculpture responds to modern dilemmas where we collectively sever our ties to nature in favor of artificial realities. My sculpture respects and honors Native American ancestors and their spiritual connections with the land. The history and language of Coast Salish groups which celebrated relationships with the land is all but lost. Those inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest recognized unmeasurable value in the connections between humans and nature. Without reconnecting the formative relations our brothers and sisters held with nature, the present and future of humanity will become lost in the death of Earth and land that supports the existence of all life."
Compass
Tracy Beals
Copper Wire, Plum Branches, Bottle Caps, 2023
The artist says: "'Compass' juxtaposes natural and fabricated objects, and plays with the idea of direction. Looking through you might ponder where to go from here?"
