It probably shows that we have a really bizarre... "cultural bubble" or whatever it's called, because we see a friend reblogging formline on the dash and saying "hey i remembered how to search tags" and we have a moment of just "what tag did they search for that??? native art??? no, that cant be right..."

Anyways, today we learned there's an actual specific name for that, despite living in an area where we saw it around pretty much every day for, like, the first few years of our life.

#we have been internally filing it as “squamish art” for years despite it very much not being squamish-exclusive #so that probably says a lot more about our geographic location than we are generally comfortable disclosing #something about personal bias & perspectives. we're something between painfully localized and Just Straight Up Not Knowing Shit #us looking at things like “oh yeah neat we know that art style! we see it all the time! it slaps!” and we do not know the name of it #despite being. an artist.#you learn new things every day and sometimes those things are things where you go “HOW did i not know this”#anyways.#we speak
