One of a series of works depicting 'totem animals' and their relationship with the external and internal landscape. These paintings are not drawn from one particular tradition - they incorporate elements of Celtic, Native American, Australian Aboriginal and other belief systems which have as a linking factor the close relationship between man and the natural environment. Symbolic of freedom and the self which is wild and at one with Nature, the wolf in Native American folklore taught men to live and hunt for food in cooperation with each other. Long vanished from Western Europe (the last wolf in Britain was reported shot in the Scottish Highlands in 1743, but they were probably really extinct there before 1500), the wolf still leaves a powerful legacy in folk memory, with many associations dating back to Roman, Greek, and Norse mythologies. In some Native American folklore, the Wolf is a creator figure with a close association with Coyote; Wolf symbolising wisdom, order, and community, while Coyote is the trickster constantly trying to get the better of him to create disorder and chaos.
