Description by Artist: “A narrative painting originating from personal experience of the Yakun River salmon harvest, Queen Charlotte Islands. A cyclical metaphor. When the salmon come back, they generate and influence my lifecycle at that time I’m at the river fishing with everybody else. They come back to give birth and also to die and from death comes new life.” – Robert Davidson
