Unfortunately, we currently do not have an image of this artwork. The Oregon State University Valley Library, building site for the piece, offers a website where it can be viewed, along with Bartow's artist statement. http://osulibrary.orst.edu/libraries_and_collection The piece is a surrealistic line drawing that appears to include a man with a bird's head, at least one other human figure, a head with a shovel positioned over the forehead, and a wheel form., The frailty of life on this planet and the need to recognize the interconnectedness of all species are common threads that weave through Bartow's work. His Yurok Indian heritage and his experiences in Vietnam are the source of these feelings and nurture his imagery. Crow/raven and a pantheon of other animals, including man, figure prominently in his work. He reanimates the ancient myths of Northwest peoples into his visual language. Once the symbol of rebirth and the spirit of all life, crow is a ghost-like figure in this monotype who knows "he" is no longer central to our lives. (OAC documentation, 1990). A Vietnam veteran and a Yurok tribal member, he addresses grief and fear in his work as means to dismantling them. His work is represented by Froelick Gallery and Stonington Gallery.
