Calvin
Hunt
Kwagu't, Kwakwaka'wakw |
 |
| Calvin Hunt was born in 1956 in Alert Bay, B.C. to Chief Thomas Hunt and
Emma Hunt and has spent most of his life in Fort Rupert, B.C.
Internationally renowned as a talented carver, Calvin Hunt's totem poles,
canoes and feast dishes are fine examples of Kwakwaka'wakw carving
traditions handed down through generations. Calvin Hunt received his
earliest training from Tony and Henry Hunt who in turn had learned from Tony
Hunt's grandfather, the illustrious Mungo Martin. Living and working in Fort
Rupert, the ancestral home of the Hunt family, Calvin Hunt turns his
attention to silkscreen printmaking as well as carving. For Calvin, who is
of Eagle clan, the Eagle of this design symbolizes: "nobility, integrity and
heavenly pride." |
