PASSAGE OF SPIRITS (Bronze)
This sculpture depicts drummers that are singing and chanting ancient songs as they are being drawn away into the mist by Sedna. Sedna and her sea creatures (seals, whales, and walruses) form the base of the sculpture. These are the sea animals that Sedna gave to the Inuit so they could sustain life in the arctic environment. These shamans use the drum to cast spells and communicate with spirits. The mask restricts physical sight and enhances the spiritual vision. The sculpture represents the passing of ancient beliefs into the world of memory and myths.
