Next in my Canada series: the Yukon. The symbols of the Yukon, its official bird, the Raven & its flower, fireweed cover the hand-carved map of the Yukon in this linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, pink-magenta and black in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

The raven is the largest member of the crow family

I hope one day to visit!
