The print, rendered as a lithograph by Pitseolak Niviaqsi, captures with fidelity and affection the spirited energy of Ashoona’s original drawing. This is a fevered, joyful work, an unapologetic celebration of colour, motion, and the kinds of friendships that can only exist in the imagination. Three birds ride together, stacked and intertwined, their talons gripping one another’s backs in a kind of avian piggyback procession.Provenance
