Description
GLEN RABENA (1953-) ADOPTED HAIDA, HORNBY ISLAND
Moon Mask, 2001
yellow cedar and acrylic, 20.75 x 20 x 4 in (52.7 x 50.8 x 10.2 cm)
signed and dated, "RABENA / 2000".
ESTIMATE: $4,000 — $6,000
Provenance
Bay of Spirits, Toronto;
Acquired from the above by the present Private Collection, Toronto.
Glen Rabena is a non-indigenous adopted Haida artist and a talented bluegrass and folk musician. He is known for his serene human forms such as this Moon Mask. He was the assistant carver to Robert Davidson for the three-totem pole commission for the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Park at Pepsico in Purchase, New York.
The moon is carefully monitored by the nations of the Northwest Coast for its ability to reveal weather systems as well as the arrival and scale of yearly food cycles, such as salmon and berries. Canoe journeys, trips to hunt and gather in the forest, and preparation for large scale potlatches also require ways to forecast the immediate future.
