In 2004, Kenojuak was commissioned to create a stained glass decoration for the John Bell Chapel at Appleby College in Oakville, Ontario. The same contorting fish seen in the present print can also be found in the lower register of The Iggaalaaq (Where the Light Shines Through) Window.Provenance
Collection of John & Joyce Price, Seattle.
