"Killer Whale" - a painting by April White
and the image on the front of her new book.
"I invite you to view the artistic expression of my creative journey that divines its embryo of inspiration from my birthplace, Haida Gwaii (Colonially aka Queen Charlotte Islands)."
"This world of my ancestors' is breathtaking beauty and bounty woven with the supernatural; a place where everything is capable of shifting shape and changing function. Intuitively, I try to release the imagery by painting with watercolour and acrylic, printmaking in formline, designing Button Blankets and Vests, carving the indigenous stone, Argillite, and transcribing my understanding to words."
"The magic I feel is so vivid I can only hope to convey but a glimmer so that you may too: smell and even taste the sea, beach and landscape, celebrate and witness First Nations' Potlatch ceremony, touch the weathered cedar of totem poles and enter longhouses in ancient Haida villages, cock your ear to listen for Raven."
"Wrap yourself in a blanket of moss as we travel from cyberspace to Planet Earth, North America, Canada, British Columbia, the Northwest Coast, and Xhaaidlagha Gwaayaai... Islands coming out of Concealment... Islands on the Edge of the World..."
"My great great Tsinni is the renowned Stastas Eagle Chief and Haida artist Charles Edenshaw. I strive to honour him."
"Dlunglas Kil'laagan."
