A collaboration between the inimitable Rico Worl and Wildfish Cannery. You are too elegant to eat fish with your fingers. You need a gorgeous Tlingit formline fork like a classy northerner.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rico Lanáat’ Worl is a Tlingit/Athabascan social designer and artist with training in anthropology. His work started in developing the arts department at Sealaska Heritage Institute, implementing programs to empower the indigenous artists of Southeast Alaska. The programs focused on developing fundamental skills and access to resources.
Through his ongoing project, Trickster Company, Rico carries forward the goals of empowering indigenous artists, Celebrating indigenous resilience, promoting cross cultural connection, representing modern indigenous people to Alaska's visitors, and breaking into a tourism market that profits from Alaska Native art styles with little to no return to the communities that spent thousands of years developing those styles.
Currently Rico is working towards developing his skills in digital 3d sculpture and exploring themes of indigenous futurism.
