Knife & Painting

I am extremely excited to showcase my latest project featuring the “Ulu” knife. Most people have seen this familiar design, but don’t know it’s history. This is a significant and essential tool from the Inuit Nation, their northern cold climate can be brutal, to say the least. This knife, or tool, has played a huge role in their lives. For several months I have been working on this project. After I drew the design on paper, I realized something was missing to highlight the significance of the Ulu. I approached renowned Montreal artist Catherine Chabot for help, the result is a spectacular painting that will be framed along with the knife. I am totally satisfied to know these can be displayed together on a wall, or prominent area in a home or gallery. The Ulu can be easily removed for use!
