Description
No question about it, I needed to get this carving out of my head and into the leftover pieces of live-edge walnut wood countertop my husband had just built in our bathroom.
Since I inherited all my dad's carving tools and the wood just fell into my lap, I had no choice but to take a break from painting and try my hand at creating this five piece wood relief carving of an inukshuk. I have always loved the British Columbia Haida carvings and decided to base my carving on their beautiful designs.
Using a variety of chisels and a mallet, I carved a cardinal into the top piece or head of the inukshuk, and eagle into his shoulders. The third carving is of a bear with owl on his shoulder. I carved a whale into each of the bear's paws. One paw reaches down to the bottom right piece where he is trying to grab a salmon on the left bottom piece. I couldn't resist a touch of color to highlight some areas.
This is my German-Canadian version of a Haida/Inuit carving executed with respect and reverence to their traditional works of art. Art prints and canvas prints would make a dramatic addition to your contemporary decor.
Thank you to the hosts of the following groups for the honor of featuring my carving image! I appreciate your kind support and promotion!
