NEO-HAIDA FORMLINE ART

Haida and other Northwest Coast artists apply the formline style in novel media: glass sculptures by Preston Singletary that seem like glowing clan crests, or graffiti murals in Vancouver tagging eagles and orcas in traditional shapes. By pushing formline into new dimensions, this neo-Haida art remains inclusive and authentic—honoring a sacred art form while proving its adaptability and power in any medium, continuing to assert Indigenous presence in contemporary spaces.
