Exhibited
Vancouver, Spirit Wrestler Gallery, Premonitions: Artists exploring the Possibilities, 1998, cat no 6.
Don Yeomans frequently acknowledges his mixed Haida and Celtic heritage in his art, often integrating dragon-like motifs. Two prominent pieces that showcase this cultural fusion are The Creator and a totem pole commission. The Creator was featured on the cover of the book Challenging Traditions – Contemporary First Nation Arts of the Northwest Coast. This book was produced for an exhibition showcasing Northwest Coast Art at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, as well as several Canadian venues during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. The totem pole commission stands proudly in the atrium of the Vancouver International Airport.
The Sisiutl is a supernatural being with two dragon-like heads and a central face with human features. It is a creature of great supernatural power known to have circumnavigated the world. Haida Sisiutl Apron is a collaboration with his wife, Trace Yeomans. The two frequently collaborate on pieces as well as creating works as individual artists. This apron was included in the 1997 catalogued exhibition Premonitions – Artists Exploring the Possibilities at the Spirit Wrestler Gallery in Vancouver. The exhibition documented the work of established artists playing with new directions and ideas in their artmaking.
