Steel Sculpture | Wolf (Black) by Joe Wilson (Sxwaset)

Joe Wilson is a Coast Salish artist born in 1967 in Koksilah, BC. He is a member of the Cowichan Band based on Vancouver Island. Joe developed an interest in Northwest Coast art at a young age after watching his stepfather, artist Johnny Sampson, at work. He he has been carving since the age of 17. Although mainly self-taught, Joe worked under Hesquiaht/Nuu-chah-nulth artist Tim Paul, and the late Coast Salish master carver Simon Charlie. Joe is deeply involved in the winter ceremonies of his people, and his artwork is defined by his attention to detail and use of unconventional colours.

Wolves are found throughout British Columbia and are a major part of First Nations myth and symbolism. People respect the Wolf for its strength, intelligence, capacity for family devotion, and leadership capabilities. Wolves are seen as naturally skilled leaders due to the great skill and grace with which pack leaders govern.
