The wall hanging gets wider at the center and then gets narrow as it comes back and meets the side edges again creating a bow shape at the top and bottom. Through the center of the wall hanging the seal skin is a darker colour then the top and bottom edge. Each shape in this work has been cut from a piece of seal skin and pieced into another of a different colour to create the images.
