Excerpt-Ravens and Eagles Season 2 -- Episode 4: Haida Jewelers

When most people think about northwest coast art, the first images that come to mind is jewelry. Indeed the art market in British Columbia can be found in the trade and sales of Haida Jewelry. Frank Paulsen and Carmen Goertzen; two contemporary Haida jewelers who specialize in gold, silver and argillite practice their trade for the freedom and independence that comes along with being artists. They both discuss the extremely competitive nature of the marketplace and the need to maintain a presence in the galleries and private collections of large urban centers. A palpable tension is created in the process of attempting to design and execute pieces beyond what has already been done before.
