Skullpture - Grizzly 1, 2007 by Shane Wilson (carved bronze sculpture)
The 'Skullpture Series' bronze skulls are all hand carved after the casting process, in a fashion similar to Shane's antler, bone and ivory carvings. The first 14 skulls were cast at Red Deer College, Red Deer, Alberta, during the Summer Series program in 2003. The carving and patination process took 4 years to complete.

In 2007, the Haines Junction Permanent Art Collection acquired the 'Skullpture Series' (as a donation in full by the artist), and has mounted 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.
