Tom Patterson began carving in 1977 at the Arts of the Raven workshop and gallery under the guidance of Tony Hunt Sr. Although he is of Nu-chan-nuilth descent he is also strong in the Kwaguilth style of carving. He also studies Bella Coola, Tlingit and
Tsimshian styles.
Tom Patterson's art education is one of discovery, as he gradually develops his repertoire by studying his own past through books, photographs and talking with his elders.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
"As a
contemporary artist I am interested in pieces my ancestors carved. I try to explore back in time and learn the different steps the artists would have taken to create their art work. Some of my work speaks of these traditional ways. When I study the old
pieces I am learning the techniques the elders used. In some of my work I adapt these basic steps to create my own contemporary work without changing the concept of the mask."
