Blackfish

Commissioned - Belgium

These fans celebrate The Creator for giving us Blackfish.

Wood carved, Yup'ik Finger Mask Dance Fan set.  Made from wood and feathers, and fur.  Colored with Red, Blue, White, Tan, with Natural Earth Pigments.

My first experience eating Blackfish was on a starry night, as I looked toward the heavens. I wondered if Blackfish ever watched the stars too. 

Blue pigment is used to symbolize marine life, the white are stars reflecting in the sky, while the red pigments are a reminder we are a part of the earth.
