Reproduction of K Pod Kelping

Orcas are such fascinating animals. After watching the documentary, "Blackfish" I became much more interested in how they are treated in captivity. Whales should never be kept cooped up in small pens. This print is a celebration of wild orcas. They practice a behavior affectionately called, "kelping" which is when they grab a piece of seaweed and toss it around. There are three pods living in the Pacific Northwest, J, K, and L. The darkest markings on this woodcut are a nod to the human cultures living in the area. paper size 11" x 17" Printed on linen paper with a beautiful woven texture
