2014 Iditarod Fundraising Print
This year’s print entitled “The Spirit of Iditarod,” symbolizes much of what the Iditarod represents; the great silent spaces of wild Alaska that the Iditarod Trail winds through; the Spirit of Alaska’s indigenous peoples that have been one with ‘The Great Land’ ever since time itself was young; the Spirit of the Raven, which untold generations of Native elders, awed by the bird’s innate intelligence, have woven into legends of Creation, Wisdom, Special Powers, and Guidance; the Spirit of the Alaska Husky bonding with the musher is by nature intense. These dogs are a part of the wildness, but with the musher they are one together, sharing the freedom and exuberance of the Iditarod Trail, and lastly; the Spirit of each Iditarod musher who helps to keep alive and vibrant, the Spirit that is the Iditarod. The three ravens appear to be showing the way with their unique sense of guidance. Along with the Raven Spirit Mask, and the Native elder, they watch over the musher below.
The full dimensions of the print are: 36” W by 24” H
