Artist Statement: We have, in our family, two sea serpents and killerwhales.
The circle is our family unit, our family radiates out from the vortex of the circle making us a very powerful unit. The Sea Chief with his silver feathers is being driven up by the serpent and killerwhale to enable him to go the distance. As the Sea Chief is elevating we, as a family, honour him and feel gratitude for all the goodness within our family�s cultural history.
