Following the Hunter

Ravens often keep company with hunting animals like wolves and polar bears. The birds wait for an opportunity to feed on the remains of a deer or seal killed by the larger animal. “Leftovers again” for dinner does not seem to be a problem. (The arctic fox also trails the polar bear for the same chance at a potluck feast.)

The Eskimo are said to watch where the raven flies, as the bird could lead the way in their own hunt for polar bear.
My linocuts are printed on cotton rag paper the old-fashioned way: I carve with knives and gouges to create my imagery in slabs of linoleum. Then I roll ink over the surface, lay cotton paper on top, and crank the block through my etching press. I repeat this process for each impression in the edition, which means: If an image is in an edition of 40, I do this 40 times! After the prints dry, I generally hand-paint them, often with many layers of color, making each print a unique work of art.
