Wendigo

This image depicts a monstrous wendigo, a fearsome creature of Algonquian myth. Standing tall on its hind legs, the wendigo tower over the tundra beneath its feet, with cold eyes glowing fiercely in the darkness of its fur. Triangle-shaped ears stand tall on its head, ears that have caught the sounds of weary travelers who dared trek too far into the unforgiving wilderness. Razor-sharp horns curve from what should be its temples and adds more threat to the powerful posture. This 'horned devil' bares long fangs, ready to savagely bite into any warm meals it can find that wanders its frozen domain unprepared. The creature is depicted racing across the bleak landscape in pursuit of human prey– a reminder that man’s ego so often meets its demise in the primal historic heart of the North. This depiction evokes a stark reality, carrying the narrative of an iconic cautionary legend that had generations of humans living in near permanent fear of the "wicked beast that prowls in the cold of the north." It serves to underscore by example, that certain mythic creatures loom large as sinister warnings – on paper or stone – calling attention to the frights of 'what’s in the cold night.' Its form brings a figure of dread into stark relief due to its sinister power and ferocity. This image pays homage to a cold ancients tradition of folk legend and draws on the deeply rooted influence mythology has had on Man’s collective imagination.
