Mischief making : Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, art, and the seriousness of play / Nicola Levell.
"In a gorgeously illustrated exploration of the art of Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Mischief Making disproves any notion that play is frivolous. Deploying playful and punning tactics, Yahgulanaas shines a spotlight on serious topics. As he investigates Indigenous and other world views, the politics of land, cultural heritage, and global ecology, his distinctive style stretches, twists, and flips the formlines of classic Haida art to create imagery that resonates with the graphic vitality of Asian manga. This engaging and beautiful book delineates the philosophical underpinnings and evolution of the artist's visual practice, revealing his deep understanding of the seriousness of play."-- Provided by publisher.
