Ning Ashoona is loved for her exquisite swans and loons.
When an artist steps outside the creative "box" , the resulting carving can be astounding.
Such is ICARUS, Ning's Bird Transformation.
Inuit transformations are an important theme; the subject can be an animal transforming into a human or vice versa.
Icarus's human head appears to be squawking like an angry bird.
His legs are human, positioned in a crouch as if the bird is preparing to leap into the air.
Icarus is dramatic and unexpected.
A stunning step forward for Ning Ashoona.
