About the Original Sculpture
In Sḵwx̱wú7mesh visual language, forms are represented through subtractive gestures where the removal of material and/or light informs the emerging design. In carving, for example, the gesture takes shape as delicate layers of wood grain are withdrawn. This process is often a starting point for Lauren and James' sculptural works. 

Yéẁyews, 2023, began with Harry carving yellow cedar into ovoidal shape. From there the solid form was pieced to create a silhouette of interconnected crescents, circles, and trigons. Through this initial carving, the insinuation of movement evolved to larger scales and models in which the seed like structure became completely evacuated of its interior and transformed into a human-scale, copper lantern embraced with a dark exterior patina and an illuminated glowing core.
