Product Description
This Portrait Mask is hand-carved and signed by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Talon George from the Gwa’sala and ‘Nakwaxda’xw First Nations in Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. The mask has been carved from red cedar and painted in red, green, brown, and black acrylic. Charcoal has been added to the surface to give a distressed finish. The mask is then finished with cedar bark trim and 2 onlays of textured copper.
While carving this portrait mask, Talon was reflecting on his connection to the forest, his source of peace. This mask is, in a way, a portrait of the forest itself. He added the colours of the forest - green, brown, and black - to reflect this connection, as well as the cedar bark. A textured finish was added to the copper eyes, inspired by the flowing lines of a river.
The mask, including the cedar bark, measures approximately 12 inches or 30 centimeters high, 14 inches or 35 1/2 centimeters wide, and 5 1/2 inches or 14 centimeters deep.
