“Wendigo”

2017

Ink, graphite and charcoal on Canson Mixed Media paper, 7x10in

Wendigo are sourced back to Algoniquin folklore and are believed to be created by a human committing cannibalism. It causes them to become insatiably hungry for human flesh, as well as becoming horribly emaciated, tall and lanky, and growing fangs and antlers as well. This piece is my take on them based off the folklore I’ve read.
