'Skullpture Series', 2007 by Shane Wilson - Preliminary Unveiling

In 2007, the Haines Junction Permanent Art Collection acquired the 'Skullpture Series' (as a donation in full by the artist), and will mount the series permanently in the beautiful St. Elias Convention Centre, which overlooks the majestic Auriol Range of the St. Elias Mountains within Kluane National Park, Haines Junction, Yukon.

A preliminary unveiling took place on Canada Day, July 1, 2008. Shane flew to the Yukon for the occasion, courtesy of the Municipality of Haines Junction. The Westmark Whitehorse provided accommodation while he was in Whitehorse.
