Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

Abraham Anghik draws from both Inuit and Northwest Coast traditions to create an image of a mysterious transforming raven. A notorious trickster bird, central to Northwest Coast mythology, Raven also appears in central Inuit and Western Arctic traditions. Here Anghik has depicted Raven with one hand clutched to its breast, paired with one partially out swept wing, the latter echoed above by an elongated downturned beak.
