Description

This metal photo print is a detail of Seal Moon Rising, a large engraved steel commission for the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Center in Bethel, Alaska. The original is in the primary care waiting area of the Paul John Calricaraq Clinic and Hospital. The overall design aspires to convey the age-old patience of the hunter and the elusiveness of the seal. A man kneels near his kayak on a barren ice flow, patiently watching the water through a well-worn breathing hole.
