Self Portrait, 2009 - Complete Work in Progress - Shane Wilson
Loading...
Uploaded by antlercarver on Jan 19, 2010
Journey with Shane Wilson, Sculptor, as he carves 'Self Portrait, 2009' a sculpture in musk oxen horn and bronze on a jade base. The piece is a carved, psychological portrait of the artist in musk ox horn, from birth (the left black tip), middle age (the centre between the two horns), maturity and death (postulated to be some way off just yet - represented by the right black tip). It is also meant to be a symbol for what the artist leaves behind after this time on earth: the artist's bones (the bronze wolf skull) and the artists' work (the carved musk oxen skull). Since the two are separate forever after the act of creation, they are separated in this sculpture by clear plexiglass column. Wolves and Musk Oxen co-exist in Canada's far north. This sculpture resides in the Yukon Arts Centre Permanent Collection in Whitehorse, Yukon.
