Glass Salmon Eggs, 2015
Etched glass
4 inch diameter
The design originates from the artist’s vison of a salmon figure seen in the topography of the future site of the Indigenous Arts Campus at The
Evergreen State College. There in the forest, a granite boulder was found and transformed by Grant into a salmon egg (lower left). The egg
represents the “mauri” or life force of the building, and will be displayed in the Fiber Arts Studio.
Contributions to the Fiber Arts Studio of $10,000 or more will allow the donor to select a personally-etched, hand-blown glass salmon egg.
(Limited quantity available in assorted colors)
