It took a miracle for Esau to create ON A PEDESTAL!
Esau drove his skidoo for two days in order to get this brilliant white stone from the quarry (near Igloolik)
His dangerous journey was fraught with obstacles like blizzards, white outs, roaming polar bears and broken ice.
Esau is one of my favourite carvers.
He is talented and innovative.
It is very difficult to carve a Dancing bear as the piece must balance its body weight on one paw.
4 Way Dancing Bears, can balance on any of their paws or feet!
On A Pedestal is a 4 way bear who can Dance and Dive!
Because On is elevated on a rock pedestal, we can see his glory in 360 degrees.
Strong and Athletic, On is also "embroidered" with etchings of Arctic animals and birds.
This is Esau's SIGNATURE.
The matte finish of the white store lends itself to these carved motifs.
This beautiful Sculpture will be a shining treasure in your collection!
