Description by Artist: ‘The Chase‘ – “A sea otter hunter was out in his canoe when he saw a pure white otter. He took aim and shot it straight through the tail and into the body as not to damage the fur. When he brought it back to his village, he gave it to his wife. She skinned it and brought it to the ocean to clean. As she sat on the shore a killer whale came and stole her away. Her husband pursued the whale and was able to rescue his wife.”
This print depicts three of the characters in this story. The hunter is in the dorsal fin of the killer whale, while his wife is represented in its tail. The husband and wife share arms and legs, which sit in the body of the whale.
