Information supplied by the artist: The black formline Raven is holding the sun. "Even after the great flood was over, the world was still in darkness, but Raven stole the stars, the moon and the sun from a great chief of the River Nass-the owner of three treasure boxes that contained them. And Raven released them into the world, the world got the light. When he released the stars and the moon he had a human form hiding his white feather under it. But finally he got the last box which contained the sun, changed himself back to the bird form and tried to escape through the smoke hole. The chief spotted him and commanded him to stop. Raven was stuck in the smoke hole and his feathers were turned black. But Raven also has power, he got out of the smoke hole. Later he released the sun from the box, but his feathers stayed black forever." "Yukie Adams was born in Hokkaido, Japan. She studied art history and oil painting at the Musashino Art College. In 1983 she moved to Anchorage, Alaska where she met and married Alaska Tlingit Henry L. Adams. In 1987 she studied the Northwest Coast Native arts and culture as a new member of the Tlingit family. She moved to Washington State and studied Northwest Coast Indian Design at the University of Washington under Marvin Oliver. She has been creating silkscreen prints, paintings and carvings based on the traditions of the Tlingit heritage." Yukie Adams' works are in public and private collections in the U.S. and in Japan. This is one of several pieces of Ms. Adams' work donated to the Bothell Campus Library by Norman and Louise Rose.
