You are presented here with very unique pieces
of Canadian art, hand made by an artist experienced in the arts of sculpture,
casting and carving.
Each piece of work you see here will forever be
a one-of-a-kind soapstone sculpture. This is due to the ever changing artistic
mix and mood of both the carver and the stone; a one time combination,
very difficult if not impossible to be repeated.
From the very smooth curves and lines of a sculpture
such as a whale, the rustic look of the timber wolf and the spiritual healing
intended to come from an Inukshuk or Celtic cross or even the mystic presence
of an Owl, the selection of a particular piece of soapstone for a
carving is usually determined by what is 'seen' waiting to be released
from within the stone. And yet at other times by the stone's hues and character.
Only when subject and soapstone are matched, the cutting, the carving done
and then the finishing selected and completed will the stone and subject
finally become one.
Most clients request that their sculptures and
carvings be 'named' and this is usually done as the piece is being completed.
The weather, the stone, the colours or the character released can determine
the naming as might a comment from a customer.
