Raised by his grandparents and inspired by the cultural knowledge of his grandfather, has had a lifetime of traditional values, that includes the history, mythology, medicine and language of his people, the Tsimshians.
Since over 39 years, Edward Bryant is carving his art pieces, in traditional Tsimshian style, mostly out of red and yellow cedar, alder, birch, maple and yew wood. He also does bone, natural ivory, copper and silver. Enhancing many of his pieces are intricate abalone shell inlay work. The artist also creates dance regalia, designs and is skilled in tool making.
He has collaborated with his brother Henry A Green to work on Totems and canoe. A four crest memorial pole 9m in Prince Rupert, a 4m column pole in Port Simpson and a 3m totem in Geneva. All art pieces, such as a 8m canoe, were done with traditional bent knives and elbow adzes. His work was also inspired by various artists, such as Ron Telek, Heber Reece, Lyle Campbell, George McKay and others. The past years Edward Bryant has worked in a carving shop, which is associated with the Museum of Northern B.C., Prince Rupert. Since 1998, during his stay in Germany, the artist has exhibited his objects in different museums with great success and compliments.
