Bending the Grain:
Larry Rosso
with Richard Sumner and Bruce Alfred
July 11 - 31
This collection brings together twelve extraordinary bentwood boxes and bowls by the late Dakelh artist Larry Rosso (1944–2006), a carver whose artistry bridged traditions, territories, and generations. Born in Burns Lake, British Columbia, Rosso first learned to carve under the guidance of his grandfather, a skilled canoe maker. His path later led him to study under celebrated Kwakwaka’wakw artist Doug Cranmer in the late 1960s, an experience that deeply shaped his design sensibilities and connected him to Kwakwaka’wakw forms and techniques.
