Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas is a contemporary artist whose
wide-ranging artistic practice explores themes of identity,
environmentalism and the human condition. Influenced by both Haida
iconography and contemporary Asian visual culture, he has created an
artistic practice that crosses diverse cultures, generations, and
disciplines in search of accessibility and engagement as a
counterpoint to stratification and isolation.
