Walrus

Kinngait (Cape Dorset)
Serpentine, Ivory
13” x 17” x 8”

Nuna Parr’s mighty Walrus is carved from richly veined dark green serpentine, alive with stunning inclusions of light green that ripple through the stone like glints of sunlight on water. Captured in a dynamic pose, the massive walrus lifts its right front flipper while arching its head back over its left shoulder,as if in a moment of playful abandon or majestic display. Along the walrus' neck and flank, ripples in the stone mimic the natural folds of a walrus’ thick skin, enhancing the lifelike realism of the piece. A powerful and charismatic piece, this sculpture is a testament to Nuna Parr’s deep connection to Arctic wildlife and mastery of form, weight, and expression.
