COU NTE RTO PS
Logan Ferris (Hupa, Yurok, Karuk) is a woodworker who has agreed to take on the project of building custom redwood countertops and shelving for the FSL, to be featured as artwork that ties the Lab to Indigenous communities of this place. The countertops will create a computer workstation in the back of the Lab, along with display shelving above the workstation. There will also be a countertop along the back wall, a feature of a display area. = Custom Redwood Countertop
About The Artist "Logan Ferris was raised along the Trinity River on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation in Northern California. The name Knu’u Customz was established to honor his middle name, Knu’u, which means Hawk in the Yurok language. The goal of Knu’u Customz is to create traditional and contemporary wood working items that incorporate traditional basket designs along with elements inspired by the river and his Hupa, Yurok and Karuk cultures. Logan grew up surrounded by talented artists and cultural practitioners, and his early exposure to traditional arts has shaped him and influenced every aspect of his own art. In addition to being an artist, Logan is a hunter, a fisherman, a gatherer, and an active participant in ceremonial dances."- knuucustomz.com 10 - Progress Report Summer 2023
