Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

In an elegant image of transformation, a crisply defined woman's face emerges from a veil of hair that also forms the body of Raven, the mysterious trickster bird of Northwest Coast mythology. The triangular relief implied by the women’s parted hair below the face suggests a trigon, a classic formal element in Northwest Coast design, cleverly used here by Anghik in a nod to traditional Haida imagery.
