Month: July 2018

A recent sculpture I made of a friend of mine whom I think of as a River Warrior: each summer, for decades now, he chooses a river, sometimes close by, sometimes in far outlying areas of Canada, and sets off to conquer it in his canoe. His preference of travelling companion is a little armful of over-eager positivity, a white Scotty Terrier named Kate. The agenda this summer is a Great Bear Lake tributary to the Mackenzie River in our Arctic Circle.
