Danger in The Whale Hunt

Description

Artist Statement * I usually try to relate my drawings to the history, the life of our ancestors. This one is whaling. The print is showing my father’s experience as a whaler. The idea comes from my father’s stories, it is not a legend. These are my visions of how our ancestors everyday life might have been. They survived through hard work before firearms were introduced, and their main weapon was a harpoon. This I truly believe: they survived through hard work. I want to portray this so it will not be forgotten. I visualize what they had to go through. I can only put my vision on a drawing….. it may not have been exactly that way. The idea is , can it been seen again ? *
