This is one of Rick Adkins's first prints. The Sculpin, also known as Bullhead, is a bottom-feeding fish is common along the coast of British Columbia. Although it is not a good fish for eating, its frequent appearance in Northwest Coast art implies that it has been valued by various northern cultures for a long time. Sculpin is a family crest amongst the Haida. Our Hearts Sing depicts two Sculpin in an infinity design, representing the persistence of the Haida people.
