Sculpture // North Pole
North Pole is a bronze cast narwhal tusk spiraling into the void. It stands at the boundary between Inuit and western art, between nature and craft, minimalism and ornament, art and design. Inspired by Brâncuși’s Bird in Space, the lightly polished bronze highlights the tusk’s intricate patterns of ridges, whorls and grooves. There is an organic gracefulness within the material solidity.
