Sun, Salmon, Frogs and Ravens

Sun, Salmon, Frogs and Ravens
lessLIE (2007)
U010.14.15

Salish Weave Collection

Overall this is a sun design that reflects the visual punning and interconnectedness of the world. Besides the sun, the design includes salmon, a frog that can be perceived as half-frog, half-human and ravens. This design represents life on earth.
