This finely crafted miniature work captures the essence of daily life in the North, meticulously detailing an outboard motor and barrel with remarkable attention to texture and form. It offers an accurate portrayal of the region’s deep reliance on small boats for transportation, hunting, and fishing. In such a setting, the maintenance of outboard motors becomes a vital part of everyday life. The use of a barrel, seen here in the sculpture, is a practical and necessary solution when servicing the motor, as it provides the essential water feed required for the task.
