Rooted in Northwest Coast formline design, this Moon panel brings a powerful celestial figure to life through a bold and graphic presence. Flowing ovoids and sweeping U-forms radiate across the circular surface, defined by crisp black formline and fields of red and green set against the warmth of the carved wood. The low-relief carving gives the panel a subtle dimensionality, guiding the eye in a balanced, rhythmic movement. Within this striking composition, The Moon emerges as a guardian, speaking to cycles of change, balance, and connection.
