This contemporary inukshuk is made out of individually carved pieces of black chlorite, then assembled to form the body.  I love the idea of this human form being a symbol of safety, hope and friendship.  I took a rather contemporary take on this traditional Inuit structure.  This inukshuk sits on a dark green piece of soapstone that has wonderful flecks that catch the light.  I have left one side of the soapstone uncarved as the natural movement of the stone was quite beautiful, and it gave a completely different look to the piece.
