Salmon Child by Terry Jackson
Slip-Cast Porcelain Vessel 9″x4.5″x10″
$140
The idea of the Salmon Child comes from the old Northwest Coast stories about salmon who were really human beings wearing fish clothes. Many traditions were built around the salmon, and the first one caught as it returned from it’s four year ocean journey to spawn was honored as a visiting chief. The timeless life-cycle of the salmon is still fascinating to observe, but unfortunately this great food chain is failing today as modern man fails to recognize these great fish as sacred beings that we should honor and treat with great respect.
