commentary:
Eliza was a Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in citizen who lived in her traditional territories in the Klondike. She had an amazing depth of character and appearance which I tried to capture in this wood engraving. My print is based on a photograph by Paul Gowdie. Watermark and deckle paper for illustration only.

This is stunning work. I don’t buy much art these days but when the mood hits me I may return for this. J
Thanks Jimi. Appreciate that.
A very powerful image that uses the ‘ limitations’ of the medium to great effect.
