Spirit of the Past

The imagery in this piece is taken from one of Oliver’s very earliest print series, titled Eagle & Killer Whale, from 1980. That print was originally created by Oliver with the intent of honoring each graduate in the Native American studies program at the University of Washington, a tribute he continued by creating a new print for every graduating class until he passed in 2019.  Spirit of the Past revives the original imagery, enlarging it on the page, and setting it on brilliant white paper.
