Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto, ON
Note:
Alex Alikashuak’s sculpture in whalebone strays from the influence of mentor George Arluk that is so palpable in his work in stone. With a great eye for organic form and abstraction, here Alikashuak has carved within the natural confines of porous whalebone to create a sinuous howling spirit.
