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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Adeline Hua’s art follow traditional Coast Salish formline rules?
She engages formline as a living language, not a fixed template. Her adaptations include rotating ovoids to mirror tidal rotation, embedding contemporary data points (like sea-surface temperature shifts) into negative space, and using non-traditional pigments only when sourced with elder approval and ecological reciprocity. Elders from the Tulalip Tribes have affirmed her approach as generative continuity, not departure.
Where does Adeline source her materials ethically?
All cedar is gathered under permit from the Suquamish Tribe’s Natural Resources Department, with harvests timed to lunar cycles and bark removed only from fallen or storm-damaged trees. Salmon-scale pigment comes exclusively from fish processing waste donated by tribal fisheries. Shell beads are reclaimed from archaeological site conservators, not newly harvested, to honor ancestral reuse practices.
Has Adeline collaborated with Indigenous scientists on her projects?
Yes, she co-designed the 'Salmon Pathways' installation with Nisqually Indian Tribe hydrologists, translating fish passage data into woven willow matrices. She also partnered with University of Washington’s Indigenous-led Climate Resilience Lab to convert forest canopy moisture readings into soundscapes performed live with Coast Salish flute makers.
What languages influence Adeline’s artistic process?
Lushootseed verbs guide her compositional logic, especially aspectual terms like 'x̌al’x̌al' (to be in slow, persistent motion), which informs her layering of translucent ink washes. She also works with dxʷləšúcid (Lushootseed) linguists to embed place-specific phonemes into rhythmic mark-making, treating text not as caption but as sonic-visual texture.
