Worked with First Nations Health Authority to create their award of service. Love how the abalone just pops in the logo. Of course the cedar has a life of its own.
Spirit Works’ “Pulling Together” piece won a major international design award at the Academy for Design and Health’s World Congress, and made the cover of World Health Design magazine! This piece was produced in collaboration with Sechelt Nation elders, youth, and cultural keepers. As part of a program we developed to support young artists we took 4 Indigenous youth straight through the entire process this included design, drafting and submitting a proposal meeting and corresponding with contractors, architects and managers and installation of the piece. In the end it embodied everything is was meant to represent around the ideals of cooperation, and building unity within the Sechelt Indigenous community and also between the indigenous and non-indigenous folks on the Sunshine Coast.

Box by Shain Jackson donated by Spirit Works to the First Nations Law Students Scholarship Fund. A Large painted bentwood box inlaid with abalone and adorned with copper chasing work. Artwork is a Thunderbird embracing person in its breast. It represents the nature people should aspire to when in possession of power and courage. Our prestige is not based on simply having these qualities but what we do with them. In this case the law firm of Janes, Kyle, Freedman used resources obtained from their practice of law to assist needy students to achieve new heights. Sold for $8,400.00.
