Featuring Artisan Mr. Jackson Ford Robertson Pacific Northwest Coast Kwakwaka'wakw Art
Kwakwaka'wakw art is one of the most distinctive forms of northwest coast art. Kwakwaka'wakw artists have always been among the most innovative artists on the coast, using an individualized approach to expression and form and colours that go beyond the traditional.
Being 100% Kwakwaka'wakw, Jackson Robertson is from the Tsawataineuk First Nation located at the northern tip of Vancouver Island in a small village they call Kingcome Inlet BC.
Jackson is a 5th generation Carver and after 45 years of carving he is considered a 'master carver' From a very early age, he moved to Nanaimo to live with his grandparents and extended family. His uncles were all accomplished carvers and so by age 14 Jackson had already learned how to carves masks, bowls and talking sticks and plaques. The rest is history. Carving designs came easy and Jackson soon found his niche and continuity in the traditional world of carving legends and characters from his culture and Potlatch traditions.
To carve is to give joy to others through a piece of art that embodies meaning and cultural significance and his art will continue to live on from generation to generation.
