All the stones in these series are from Baffin Island, Nunavut. They have been chosen to represent the many different aspects of the Arctic land and sky.
“It is a common belief that much of the Arctic is a desolate place. In truth it is as rich and varied as the land in the South but often little grows more then 6” high. These pieces, using stone from Canada’s Arctic, represent my attempt to capture the quiet strength and detail of the Northern landscape.I found working with the natural contours and rough surfaces of the stone to be much more rewarding then trying to force it into conventional shapes. I found that the colours of the seasons were very often reflected in the rock itself. Iron deposits in granite produce a colour just like September hills in the distance and rough white marble is wind packed snow
