"Salmon
Woman Dream"
Bronze, Edition of 36
22" H x 5" W x 5" D
"The
woman would fill her vessel with salmon colored stones and journey from
her village to the shore. Singing to the salmon, she would lure them to
her and leaving the stones upon the beach as her offering, she would fill
her vessel with fish and return home. We in turn, joyfully find her dream
stones upon the shore, gather them to ourselves and return home."
- Leo Osborne
The gathered stones with this sculpture were personally collected by the
artist Leo E. Osborne from the shores of his home. There, on the west
beach, once stood a Samish Indian village where the tribe fished for their
highly honored salmon. There too is where the inspiration came for Leo
to have the Dream of the Salmon Woman while he gathered colored stones.
From that moment and that experience the creating of this sculpture began
to form itself through his guiding hands.
