Stone
sculptures
Each
sculpture is unique. Each has a number and an ID card. Each one is a
collection piece.
During
the creation of an Inukshuk, Inuits use small stones to maintain in
balance the larger stones.
When
creating an Inukshuk, Claude Roussel uses a white or clear matter, which
can represent the layers of snow or ice that an Inuit could use at time
of the construction certain Inukshuiit. The stones used by Claude Roussel
are of multiple colours. The whole gives a new seal to traditional Inukshuk.
Furthermore,
Claude Roussel’s personal touch is found in the means of a small stone
placed on top of the Inukshuk. Inukshuk
becomes a protector, a kind of guardian angle, a lucky charm for the
person who acquires it. According
to an Inuit legend, from its ancestral functions which were to guide
people, Inukshuk will help the person who acquires it to always take the
right path and to make good decisions.
Through
his sculptures, Claude Roussel wants to wake the desire for others to
open to other cultures.
It is while being respectful of out past that we can better live
the present moment and thus build a future together.
Each
inukshuk is unique. The variety of shapes, sizes and colors make it
possible for everyone to find the right one. Being a friendship and
solidarity symbol, it is the ideal gift for a friend or sibling as much
as a colleague or employee.
