Yesterday,
this was just a block of wood from a 500 year-old red cedar tree. Today, there
are so many possibilities; it can be carved into any character from the ancient
stories. It was almost 40 years ago when Beau Dick & Wayne Alfred showed me
how to rough-out a mask from block of wood. I was young then, and I did not realize
how fortunate I was to learn from two of the masters.
I
am undecided where to go with this mask. Who do you see in this rough chunk of
cedar?
