Artist Statement :
Henry Hunt, in this most recent print "Salmon" has used traditional Kwaguilth colours of red, black, white and green and applied Kwaguilth design conventions depicting the salmon's marine origins indicated by scalloping to show the scales and gill slits. The distinctive tail shape depicting the salmon is also used. (Statement provided by Open Pacific Graphics)
