Hawk and Crows

Portland Art Museum

1995.59A-C

In the work of Yurok artist Rick Bartow, human and animal images meld together, suggesting the interconnectedness of nature. In this cedar triptych, a crow and hawk mask human figures. For Bartow, these "transformational images" directly reference the myths he encountered while studying Native American carving techniques and symbolize the natural order and the power of change and redemption.
