Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

The sculptures of Lucy Tasseor Tusweetok are often said to represent families. Here the jutting irregular surface of the rock is surmounted by a cascade of faces, large in the centre, and small toward the peripheries where the head of a child is upturned amidst the seemingly playful tumult.
