    This is truly a wonderful sculpture on so many levels. Despite its very imposing size and brittle-looking texture, it manages to retain a very soft and soothing appeal; it has almost the feeling of a miniature carving. We love the way the figure leans, as if fighting a strong wind. Though carved relatively recently, the work has an “old time” vibe that we find captivating. The bone itself is a marvellously weathered ancient piece - we appreciate the delightful interplay between the earth tones of the sponge-like interior cancellous bone and the sun-bleached brightness of the denser exterior cortical bone - and the artist has carved it with true sensitivity. The piece is also interesting in that if one were to go by the face alone, one would guess that the subject is female, but the design of the clothing is more typically male.

    Provenance

    Private Collection, Ottawa.
