Kâ€"W Chamber Music Society concludes a busy March calenâ€" dar with two concerts in the Saturday at 8 p.m. Western Canada‘s finest quartet stops at revelation. It reveals new facts and enlarges on old ones. In the art book "Bill Reid," Doris Shadbolt writes a positive biography/criticism about the west coast jewelryâ€"maker carver Bill Reid. Son of a white man and halfâ€"breed Haida mother, Reid‘s upbringing was white 1920â€"30 middle class Vancouver. His mother Sophie spoke excellent English, adapted comfortably And seemed to forget her childâ€" hood spent on the Skidegate reserve. Ironic as it may seem, Reid first came in contact with a totem pole from The Queen Charlotte Islands in the main foyer of the Royal Ontario Museum when he worked in Toronto for 10 years as a CBC broadcaster. His artistic talent emerged when he chanced to see an ad for courses given in jewelry making at Ryerson. â€" _ _ o Music Room remains a hive of activity nightâ€"time radio show didn‘t interfere with daytime classes. When the course finished, the first thing he made was a Haida style braceâ€" After this time in Toronto, Reid realized he must reclaim his heritage. Identity in the white man‘s world had proven empty and shallow thus he set about finding his Haida identity through artistic expression. The decision to return to Vancouver in 1950 where he set up a basement workshop proved a wise one. Soon he had a flourishing business selling oneâ€"ofâ€"aâ€"kind pieces to friends and gift shops. But that wasn‘t the end of Bill Reid‘s _At the age of 23 he set out to find his decendants on the Queen Charlotte Islands.

When ‘he died ‘he left an unfinished bracelet on his workbench which Reid felt compelled to finish before the funeral. It was here at the funeral he met carver Charles Edenshaw, who became a friend and mentor. In 1957 Reid began carving totem Museum team that salvaged rotting poles from abandoned village sites on the Queen Charlotte Islands. _ As his reputation became more widely known, a downtown larger building was apened where young natives newly arrived in town from the villages could learn a trade and find friends. | Larger commissions included the carving of mythic Haida animals and numerous poles, display at Expo 86. The majority of the photos feature gold, silver and wood objects. Shadbolt‘s endeavor to produce Bill Reid‘s art career biography is more than adequate but she glosses over other periods of his life often with only one line references to his CBC career, marriages, children and the more intimate struggle to define and proclaim his Haida identity. A clear picture of Jack Reid the person fails to emerge. Today Jack Reid is in his mid 60‘s suffering from Parkinson‘s disease. He continues to design, carve, draw and polish in his shop on Granville Island. Jack Reid. Doris Shadbolt.
