Materials: 30,000 crow and roller beads

Location:  The Olympia Center

The Traditional Artists Guild chose to honor the Blueback, the indigenous sockeye of Lake Quinault. Colored beads were applied to the form to give the illusion of the spawning colors of the Blueback's skin. The artist's goal is to address ideas, needs and values that can be found throughout all time and places; to find similarities within the differences, which is where dialogue begins.
