Seal In Our Blood relates to the inner and mutual processes that characterise living beings. The work spans more than thirty feet and consists of hand-sewn, intersecting bands of red velvet and sealskin. Its basic form is linear - the line as a fundamental element in both writing and drawing.
Inuvialuit have been as dependent on the seal as the polar bear is; this soft and malleable sculpture evokes the constant circulation of blood in organic bodies and describes how inextricably we depend on other life to maintain this flow.
