Every line in this wolf's head is doing something. The muzzle, ears and mane are filled with dots, chevrons, leaf shapes and fine hatching, dark navy laid on a bare stone ground, so that from standing height you read a wolf and from close up you read pattern. Nothing else on the mat competes for attention. Line as a tradition Heavy black outline has a real history in Anishinaabe painting. Norval Morrisseau, an Ojibwe artist from northwestern Ontario, built the Woodland School around thick contour lines and interior divisions that show what is inside a body, and a generation of painters followed him. This is contemporary ornamental illustration rather than Woodland work, but the pleasure it offers, a figure held together entirely by line, comes from the same place. Why this face keeps returning The wolf is one of the Anishinaabe clans, and in one of the oldest teachings Ma'iingan walked with Original Man to name everything in the world, then went his own way under a promise that what happened to one would happen to the other. Anyone who knows that story tends to look at a wolf's head for longer.
