Vintage Masterpiece! Museum quality Carving!
I think Nerves of Steel may be our first Inuit sculpture forged from steel!
The magnificence of this piece is twofold.
One, the structure of the wolf is esthetically gorgeous and pays homage to the spirit of the wolf.
And second, the "hidden" faces that traverse the wolf's body are completely unexpected but ALSO executed with care and extraordinary talent.
Nerves is one of those never seen before and likely never to be seen again pieces.
Simon was a respected print artist and author of a children's book Shaman's
Nephew: A Life in the Far North
The book was autobiographical dealing with Simon's life in the Arctic and his first experiences with non-Inuit culture.
