Going Home, 1986

"In Fort Rupert, the village where I come from, there is a river. Every year we sit and watch, waiting for a sign that the salmon are returning home up the river to spawn. We are always happy when we see this sign because we know that our stomachs will soon be full for the winter and that there will be enough food for all of the people. Even the great eagle will get his share. The old and cautious Raven knows to sit and wait for the scraps. If I were living in Fort Rupert, I would not have to go far to get my food. The house by the river, with the Kulus and out-stretched wings, is my house. The Kulus is one of my crests. The best time to see the salmon is in the morning or in the evening, in this case, it is the evening."

The edition size of "Going Home", printed in 1987, consists of 120 signed and numbered prints, 10% are Artist's Proofs and 10% are Remarques and 2 Printer's Proof. All other trial copies have been destroyed and the printing stencils obliterated.
