Kun is the Haida word for baleen whale. Humpback, Grey and Fin Whales are three types of baleen whales commonly found around Haida Gwaii.

Tyson Brown said this about his design - "Kun" is also the word for "point" or "bump". In this design, I've chosen to have the whale's dorsal fin (point/bump) breaking the water's surface in reference to this duality in meaning. The design elements in the light green area around the whale imply movement in the water and the prevailing ocean currents. I've used single line hatching to represent baleen in the whale's mouth and cross-hatching as the air bubbles released as it dives. The colour pallete was chosen to reflect the various colours and tones of the ocean. My intention with this print is to honour Kun.

This serigraph is from an edition of two (2) printer's proofs. The regular edition consists of 80 signed and numbered prints.

This limited edition silk screen print titled "Kun" by Tyson Brown was hand produced by the screen printing process. It is the only limited edition printing of this design. The artist has inspected and signed each copy in the edition. All trial copies of this edition have been destroyed and the printing stencils obliterated.
