Being new to the USA I am encountering all sorts of different animals in reality and in symbolism. I'm using lino to explore each animal, delving into their folklore universally and locally. This print, 'Wapiti' is based on the Shawnee name for Elk. There is a well known legend that links Elk to love and music. In the legend a boy is in love with a girl and doesn't know how to tell her, two elk visit him in his dream and give him a flute, so that he can share how he feels with music. Wapiti, Lino, 20x15cm
