A collaborative piece with indigenous carver Moy Sutherland Jr.
Gloomstalker is a representation of the blue heron, a powerful figure to west coast peoples: Guardian of the fog that shrouds the shore. In this sculpture he is seen transforming between his human and animal spirits, lurking in the gloom, ready to pounce on the unwary or to lure the unsuspecting into the mist.
The myth of the heron is one bred of fear- of being lost in the fog, alone on a wild shoreline, with nothing but sea and forest all around you.

Forged steel & carved yellow cedar.
