'Integration' (Begin 1) by Shane Wilson
February 05, 2011 Categories: Integration
This enormous moose rack and partial skull was discovered high atop a rock-strewn mountain in southern Yukon.
It is 1.5 meters (5 ft) wide and each paddle is 91 cm (3 ft) high.
It will form the basis for the first of three major abstract works which I plan to create over the next decade or so.
The partial bone skull will be completed with a matching bronze partial skull, which will be integrated into a tapering floor mounted base.
'Integration' will be an integrated duality themed work, where the curved and angled elements will come together throughout the design.
The antlers have been moved into the office, so that I can live with them in order to work out design possibilities over the next year.
Next, I'll post the images and account of the recovery of this amazing set of antlers by Peter Harms, a Yukon teacher and outdoor enthusiast. It was quite the adventure!
[The second major abstract work planned will be carved from a complete, 3 meter (10 ft) long wooly mammoth tusk (~2018) and the third will be carved from a locked set of two large Yukon moose racks (~2021).]
