Carving a Canoe from a Single Cedar Tree

Shawn Brigman (Spokane, Sinixt, San Poil, Shuswap) is a traditional artisan practicing ancestral recovery efforts in Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, and Montana. He explores and transforms the way people read Plateau architectural space by celebrating the physical revival of ancestral Plateau art and architectural heritage. In his 15 year career in the arts, he's gathered a diverse range of natural materiality for ancestral structures like tule mat lodges, pit houses, and bark sturgeon-nose canoes.  In February 2020, Shawn received one of the first Artist-in-Residence grants from the Bill Holm Center. The grant award included funding for a two week onsite visit to the Burke to work in the new artist studio on a bark sturgeon-nose canoe and spend time in collections. Due to the impacts of the global pandemic, the Bill Holm Center had to postpone artist visits until next year. In the meantime check out what Shawn has been up to at his home in Spokane!  Shawn also founded an original contemporary canoe interpretation in 2013 with a unique frame assemblage and fabric skin attachment method now widely known across the Plateau region as a Salishan Sturgeon Nose Canoe with well over 30 in circulation.
