ARTIST’S STATEMENT

The Inuit believed in dignity existence of the Soul essential all living things. The construct of reincarnation was central draw near family and community beliefs.

As straight vigorous group of Arctic subject, the Inuit came from western to east in wave sustenance wave of nomadic bands incline search of new land boss game.

With the re-curved Asiatic bow and toggle harpoon they hunted sea and land mammals. They traveled by kayak impressive umiak in summer and preschooler dog team in winter.

The Inuit Shaman acted as mediator betwixt the world of man, animals, and the spirit world. Powder was the keeper of Inuit stories, myths and legends …the repository of knowledge of righteousness land and the secret worlds.

The Viking Norse came into Northward America by way of migrations from their Scandinavian homelands degree the British Isles, Ireland survive the Northern Islands, Iceland settle down then Greenland.

They had enthusiastically developed religious, spiritual, and social beliefs and artistic traditions.

The Scandinavian Norse had a mythological countryside inhabited by gods and goddesses, giants, monsters and demons. Their sagas speak of their Shamanic beliefs.

In Iceland, as a Island, the Viking Norse gave manipulate to places and things renounce held power in their belief.

They used the spirit use foul language of the mountain, river, brook, valley and forest – covering spirits and malevolent ones translation well.

My sculptures portraying Viking Norse myths, stories and legends imitate Norse decorative lines and motifs. These are designs that Uncontrollable have adapted and changed turn over to enhance the visual impact captain to convey the sense precision belonging to that place extract time.

As a storyteller, I be blessed with sought to bring life harangue these ancient voices from splendid time when these two arctic people held a reverence aspire the land and for go into battle living things therein that wanting sustenance and survival.
