The stone forms are animated by skin harnesses that pull between man, sled, and dogs. Each animal leans forward with a sense of strain, their bodies carved with sturdy legs and alert heads. The driver crouches low over the komatik, hands gripping the frame, as if guiding the team through wind and drift. The polished stone carries a soft sheen, while the pale lines of the harness create contrast, evoking the texture of movement and the endurance of the journey.Provenance
Ex. Coll. Colin John Grasset Molson (C.J.G ), Montreal.
