" When I make my prints I recall the things which happened in my childhood--
the hunger, the search for food, the days of walking and the stories I heard
from the old people. When I make a print I make it reveal the truth of our
life as my ancestors lived it and as I did to a lesser extent in my own
youth."
Tivi Etook, from an interview with
Peter Murdoch 1974
Tivi Ettok's son in law is the artist Peter Morgan.
