8" Walking Bear by Kelly Ashoona *White Charcoal*Inuit art: Walking Bear Inuit Artist: Kelly Ashoona Size: 7. 5" long, 4" tall, 4" deep Community: Cape Dorset, NU Stone: Serpentine id: ndc 209 1268315ggjy I love walking bears. I love the idea that as the viewer, we are privileged to catch this magnificent creature in a quiet moment. Quietly observing this animal is as real as it gets. Kelly has carved a stunning and bewitching piece with *White Charcoal*. The stone is cool and silky to the touch.

Since 1992 he is carving full time

I also particularly like the heads of the two seals as well as the etching mark spots on the back

and deep coloration in the stone make this piece worthy of being featured in any Inuit art chronicle

one foot ahead of the other

The mastery of an artist to achieve a bear to balance on three points takes years to perfect

the wolf seems resigned to his fate

Our bear's most endearing feature is his head

The rich deep green stone is intense and the right color for this stunning sculpture
