Abstract
The young Coast Salish artist Dylan Thomas produces unique artwork strongly influenced by his cultural background, historical sources, other contemporary Coast Salish artists and his love of symmetry. His works are not just carefully composed compositions of Salish figures, but each pays homage to traditions and stories of the Coast Salish. Here, the artist recounts how he came to make his artwork and mathematician Doris Schattschneider points out particular geometric elements in his work.
