The central figure of a loon sits, almost stark with its washes of dark ink but far from flat, thanks to the intricately carved feathers and textures across its body. A bold, stenciled flower, bending gently along its stem, follows the swooping curve of the loon’s neck and bursts with colour, its warmth radiating against the darker loon. Expertly printed by Qavavau Manumie, the depth and feel of the work defies the supposedly “fixed” nature of a printed image.Provenance
Collection of John & Joyce Price, Seattle.
