Description |
Abstract painting that is a contemporary take on a spindle whorl design using the traditional Coast Salish design elements of crescents, circles and trigons (burgundy, black, white, pastel blue). |
Provenance |
Dylan Thomas combines traditional Coast Salish design elements including the use of trigons, circles, crescents, and mirrored geometric compositions with contemporary colour palettes and media. In addition to Coast Salish influences, Thomas draws inspiration from cross-cultural studies of traditional and ancient geometric art forms; as such, Thomas’ artworks are part of a global, post-colonial and post-modern discourse. |
