Pacific Northwest Indigenous Artist
About Adeline Hua
In 2021, Adeline Hua embedded cedar bark fibers and salmon-scale pigment into a large-scale mural at the Suquamish Tribal Center, each material harvested with permission from elders and processed using intergenerational techniques she learned during two years of apprenticeship with her grandmother on the Port Madison Reservation. Her work refuses static representation: instead, she maps tidal rhythms into linocut series, translates orca vocalizations into layered screen-printed patterns, and collaborates with hydrologists to visualize groundwater flow beneath ancestral Lushootseed place names. Based in Olympia but rooted in sx̌ʷəbabš (Squaxin Island) and dxʷdəwʔabš (Duwamish) lineages, Adeline treats art-making as reciprocal stewardship, not illustration. She doesn’t depict ecosystems; she activates them through material accountability, seasonal timing, and consent-based sourcing. Her 2023 installation 'Rooted Currents' used live mycelial networks under glass panels to grow visible fungal pathways alongside hand-stitched Coast Salish formline, challenging Western distinctions between living system and artwork.
