About
Shealagh Pope discusses the making of On the Move, a large print made using a variety of printmaking processes. The print depicts barrenground caribou moving from their summer calving grounds to regions further south in the Arctic where they will overwinter. Caribou undertake the longest annual migration of any land animal. In the fall, they do it against the backdrop of the Arctic tundra in full autumn glory, as celebrated in this print.
