“Looking at my art at this scale after seeing it on a tiny little screen for so long, it's different,” said Juneau artist Crystal Worl, whose formline salmon adorn an Alaska Airlines jet making its inaugural flight from Anchorage to Juneau this morning.
Now her blue, white and pink design — depicting salmon in Northwest Coast formline — completely covers a passenger jet. The Boeing 737 was formally unveiled Thursday at an Anchorage hangar, in an event featuring Tsimshian dancers.
The art on the plane features four salmon, painted to look like fish in flight, representing the salmon’s life cycle with its eggs on the tail. Worl says she hopes the design will help people understand the salmon’s environment and the need to protect them. “Looking at my art at this scale after seeing it on a tiny little screen for so long, it’s different,” she said Thursday. “I think I was in awe, disbelief. Breath was taken away.”
