Striking and symbolically rich, this limited edition print titled "Halibut Man" blends expressive portraiture with Northwest Coast-inspired formline design. Numbered 11 of 60 in pencil at the lower left and dated 1981 at the lower right, it is also inscribed with the printmaking term "imp," indicating the artist's direct involvement in the printing process. The artist's signature is present but illegible.
The imagery features the face of an elder rendered in gray-scale drawing, partially dissolving into embossed white halibut forms with bold red and black detailing. The composition suggests transformation and duality, themes often associated with "Halibut Man" in Pacific Northwest coastal mythologies, figures that symbolize humility, ancestry, and spiritual metamorphosis.
Professionally framed behind glass in a slim, dark metal frame and wired in the back to hang easily.

The frame measures 22.5" wide, .75" deep, and 25.75" high.
