YUKON SEASONS: CENTRE

YUKON SEASONS: CENTRE - PHASE 3

July 25, 2001

I have begun to rough out the shapes on the skull. You can see the raven, as well as the snowflakes, water and ice patterns beginning to emerge. I am a little uncertain about the trail behind the raven. It is meant to be an indication of the wake behind the bird as it flies through the ice fog, but it looks a little more like an extension of the tail at this point. I'll pursue the design a little further before deciding on whether or not to remove it.

What you can't see in this shot are the wonderful holes emerging in the design in the thin sections along the side of the skull. I am going to play with these a little more and show you the results next time I update this section of the sculpture.

I have to say that we recently experienced the first few days of summer! Perhaps the only days of summer this year - all three of them. It was a great chance to swim in a nearby lake, however, the temperature of the water still took my breath away, despite the warmth of the air!

Till next time,

Shane
