News
My good friend Duane Pasco passed away this week. Duane was the most remarkable person I have ever known, and leaves as a legacy not just a huge body of impressive works of art but an entire generation of artists that learned their craft from him. Since the late 60's Duane spent what amounted to years of his life teaching what had become lost arts to communities up and down the Pacific Northwest from Washington to Alaska—communities where once rich and vibrant traditions had been stomped out by oppressive government actions and policies that ended knowledge that had been handed down through generations of artists for millennia. Through inquisitiveness and scholarship in academic archives and museums around the world Duane learned and became a master of the lost arts, and then spent as much time teaching them as he did creating new works. Duane continued to work past the age of 90, taking commissions and passing knowledge to apprentices. He worked right into cancer treatments and went until the pain made it impossible. I am in the middle of making a film about Duane's life, I look forward to sharing it with you when it is finally complete so that more people can know this remarkable man. Duane is survived by his children and his wife, Suquamish artist Betty Pasco. (fb)
