Terry's stone, bronze, cedar, and fiberglass sculptures and contemporary paintings reflect the internal/external forces which are his metaphors of colonial interference in Statl'imc life. Grand Chief Saul Terry was born in Stat'imc territory at Xwisten near Lillooet but removed from his village from age 8 to be schooled at the residential in Kamloops. He graduated from the Vancouver School of Art in 1968, then fought in the front lines of local, national, and international politics, for 27 years. He integrated his artistic practice into his political responsibilities, with his art functioning as an iconography of resistance for Aboriginal peoples.
