Hand tooled copper finished with a pine needle firing.

Inspired by 19th Century Coast Salish spindle whorl art.

 

The Spindled Whorl was used by Coast Salish women to spin their wool into yarn.  Using a spindle fitted with a large wooden whorl, Salish women spun the wool of mountain goats as well as specially bred dogs known for their woolly undercoat.

Weaving Woman is a classic example of Pacific Northwest spindle whorl art.  This sculpture exhibits wonderful visual organization and planning.

A pair of very stately birds is seen embracing the mysterious human figure.  They are though o depict mythological beings, the protective leadership of the Eagle, spiritual power of the Thunderbird or the supernatural power of the Raven.

Two mask like figures are seen born upon the bird wing joints – they bay be dream inspired spirit helpers.  An embryonic froglike creature is featured, recalling lunar cycles, healing and continuity.

The human figure’s hands converge on the center hold where the spindle shaft would meet the whorl. It’s here that Salish shamans believe that spirit powers enter and leave the body as the wool is spun into yarn.
