Aaron "Splash" Nelson-Moody (Tawx'sin Yexwulla, born 14 April 1967[1]) is a Squamish carver working in the Coast Salish tradition.[2] Nelson-Moody's works include the doors to the B.C.-Canada pavilion at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin.[3] He also creates Coast Salish based jewellery.[4]
Nelson-Moody's Squamish name of Tawx'sin Yexwulla means "Splashing Eagle" giving rise to his nickname of "Splash".[5] He started as a carver, but branched out to jewelry when he looked for local Coast Salish jewelry for his wife but found little, and decided to make it.[4]
Nelson-Moody was commissioned to work on the doors for the Turin Winter Olympics a year before their installation. The doors were made from red cedar. Based on a Coast Salish legend, the doors feature an eagle with a sun rising out.[6]
