Tom
Hunt
Kwagu't, Kwakwaka'wakw |
 |
| Tom Hunt, son of George and Mary (nee Henderson) Hunt was born in Victoria
in 1964 but as a young man made Fort Rupert, B.C. his home. Tom began his
training with his father and continued with his uncle Calvin Hunt and
grandfather Sam Henderson. Tom Hunt is a versatile and gifted carver and
graphic artist. He is best known for his masks and totem pole carving but
is equally skilled in the creation of other ceremonial and decorative
pieces. Tom Hunt has collaborated on many major commissions with Susan
Point, John Livingston, Calvin Hunt and other master carvers as well as
fulfilling private and public commissions world wide. The kneeling figure of
the mace stand follows the long standing artistic traditions of the
Kwakwaka'wakw culture. |
