Times Past is a piece that I worked on a Winter Break. My family was out snowboarding for the day and so off to the Studio went I. Sipping on some hot tea, I began the process of scupting, shaping, carving, baking. My hands seem to love the feeling of the clay warming itself into shape. I was thinking of how the First people came to our land and then how the French pioneers came here. I've taken the artistic liberty of somewhat modernizing the clothing in which the French perhaps arrived. Sort of keeping the old and adding a bit of the new.
