Description: This is an original intaglio etching I colored with watercolor pencils. Inspired by a song which was inspired by an Inuit myth. According to myths collected among the Inuit in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the narwhal was once a woman with long hair that she had twisted and plaited to resemble a tusk. When the woman's blind son lashed her to a white whale, she was drowned, but transformed into a narwhal.
