Jackson (Tlingit\/Haida, 1942-2008). 7'1\" x 2'1\" x 2\"D\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorman L Jackson was a Tlingit and Haida master carver from the village of Kake, Alaska. He was from the Tlingit Kaach.adi (Raven\/Freshwater Marked Sockeye Salmon) and Haida Tiits Gitee Nei (Eagle\/Hummingbird) clans, respectively. His Tlingit name, which he signed on his artwork, was Aan eet ki, and his Haida name was Stilth daa. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJackson was from a large family of artists and was an accomplished jeweler and sculptor himself. He studied silverwork under renowned Inupiaq modernist Ron Senungetuk at the Native Arts Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In the 1980s his work was frequently shown in exhibitions and art competitions such as the seminal Wood, Ivory, and Bone (1981). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorman also created monumental artwork in the form of totem poles and plaques (like this salmon), which can be seen today at the University of Washington Medical Center, the Seattle Indian Health Service hospital, the Kake Health Center, and the Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka, Alaska. \u003cbr\u003eThis monumental panel depicts Jackson’s crest, a Freshwater Marked Sockeye Salmon. Like its natural inspiration, the Salmon panel is depicted with a large hump on its back, a hooked beak, and streaks and spots rendered in formline on its side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s also a Human figure in profile incised on flank of the Salmon. The tail is formed from a large joint ovoid with four split-U forms and two circles at the top and bottom to break up the positive space. The panel is carved in yellow cedar and is signed “Norman Jackson aan eet ki” in pencil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a large or fragile item, so shipping will not calculate on our website.
