The visage of the Black marble stone is striking to its very core. The radiance that is emitted from its tonality is second to none. I have never seen black stone as pure as this.

The stoically and dramatic black stone render this piece to new levels whereas the vibrancy is nothing short of stunning.  

Toonoo began his tenure as a carver at the early age of ten, and entered his first exhibition while still in his teens. He is widely recognized as a major carving talent. 

This flying Arctic char is typical of his best work.  It epitomizes the Cape Dorset aesthetic and shows off Toonoo's consummate technical skill, flair and humour.
