Young K’iid K’iyaas, 2005

mixed media on wool melton, 53.75 x 61 in.

 

K’iid K’iyaas in his prime. He is slim, golden and handsome – a beautiful young spruce. K’iid K’iyaas was once a human being – a man – whose aunt became the first golden spruce. The three coppers signify that he would grow tall and live to be 300 years old.
