Ok, what to say. Somehow, this carving speaks to me. But I haven't figured out yet how it speaks to me. Images that come to mind: James Dean, Elvis Presley, Punker, Rock and Roll, Grease, you name it. Now the serious stuff. The carving is by George Pilurtut from Kangiqsujuac and the title is straight forward: " Head with snow goggles " It is a serpentine stone measuring 3" x 2" x 3.5" and dates from 2003. Another association I have is Atanarjuat, the Fast Runner. I honestly don't know where the associations come from. Maybe this one is just: " Head with snow goggles " . Period.
