The artist noted in 2003 that 'These paddle designs incorporate motifs of both the Salish and Maori, connecting and hopefully mirroring the commonalities of our cultures. Our mutual respect for our ancestral heritage, our Mother Earth, and all life that is a constant part of us, is a link that we share and pass on to each new generation. In this design (hammerhead shark intersecting with salmon motifs), my attempt at Maori imagery is only symbolic and respectfully serves as a welcome motif....the origin and proper interpretation of this important design rightfully belongs to the domain of the Maori experts'
