  • This  limited edition serigraph (silkscreen print) titled "One World" by the renowned Coast Salish master carver and artist, Charles Elliott (Temosen-thut).
  • This specific piece was created in 2003 (noted as "140/150 - one world - C. W. Elliott 2003") and was to be a commemorative gift or commission for the Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific to celebrate their 30th anniversary (1974–2004). 
  • Recent Auction History: Similar serigraphs by Elliott have sold for approximately $190 to $260 CAD at Northwest Coast art auctions.
  • Because this piece includes a brass plaque from Pearson College, it has added historical value for alumni or those associated with the United World Colleges (UWC), though this doesn't always translate to a higher general market price. 
  • The artwork utilizes the "Trigon" and "Crescent" shapes characteristic of Coast Salish visual language. 
  • The composition features two mirrored circles, representing the "One World" concept through the lens of Indigenous interconnectedness.
  • The faces are rendered in Red, Yellow, Black, and White—the colors often used in Indigenous medicine wheels to represent the four directions and all races of humanity.
  • The blue waves at the bottom signify the coastal environment of the Salish people and the Pacific setting of Pearson College.
  • The surrounding circular motifs represent salmon or spirit beings, symbolizing life cycles and sustenance. 
  • Owning a piece by Charles Elliott means owning work by an Order of British Columbia recipient who was a pioneer in the revival of Coast Salish art.
  • The bold primary colors and balanced circular geometry make it a striking focal point for professional or residential spaces.
  • The piece serves as a physical record of the partnership between Indigenous artists and international educational institutions like Pearson College.
  • 21.5" X 29.5"
