Corrine Hunt Cedar Wall Carving Native Raven and Wolf

Description: This is a stunning and modern wall-mounted sculpture by famous Indigenous artist, Corrine Hunt. It measures 9 1/2" tall by 35 1/4" long and is signed by Corrine. It is made from red cedar and contains an abalone inlay in the eye. The sculpture is titled "Raven Catches the Wolf's Tail" and speaks to the bond between these two central crest symbols. In the wild, ravens follow wolves and feast on wolf kills. Ravens lead wolves to their prey, alert them to dangers, and are rewarded by sharing the spoils. They are also both social animals and often mingle in the wild. Ravens can be attracted to wolf howls. Wolves howl before they go on a hunt, and it is a signal that the birds learn to heed. Conversely, wolves may respond to certain raven vocalizations or behavior that indicate prey. Corrine Hunt's grandmother is A’neesla’ga, a Tlingit noblewoman from Alaska. Her uncle is engraver Norman Brotchie. Corrine has lived in the Vancouver area since 1975, graduating from high school and continuing her education at Simon Fraser University, where she majored in Anthropology. Norman Brotchie sparked her interest in creating art with his beautiful hand-engraved jewellery, and was instrumental in introducing her to Kwakwaka'wakw art. Corrine has been working as a jeweller since 1985. She sells her work to galleries throughout North America, and is collected around the world. In 2006, she designed the logo for the World Peace Forum, which was held in Vancouver. She also has large installations at Whistler's Hilton Hotel, and the office for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). In 2009, Corrine co-created the medals for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver with designer Omer Arbel. "Corrine Hunt", "Corrine Hunt jewelry", "Hollie Bartlett", "Corrine Hunt native"
