"The idea for this print came to me in the form of a dream, approximately one week before a poleraising and party given by our family in memory of our late father. It started with my sitting on the northern end of Clo-oose beach, when I noticed my cousin climbing on the rocks at the opposite end of the beach. All of a sudden when I got closer he slipped off the rocks and fell into the water. I called to other people who were on the beach to come over and see if we could save this boy. My attention shifted to watching a black and white dog running southward on the beach. Suddenly a killer whale came out of the water in chase of this dog. It got stranded on the beach as the wave receded."
