ORCA SCULPTURE,
CANADIAN MUSEUM OF HISTORY, QUEBEC

Celebrated First Nations artist and carver Bill Reid (1920-98) produced more than a thousand original works during his fifty-year career. He is regarded as one of the most significant Northwest Coast artists of the late twentieth century.
This beautiful orca plaster cast (the bronze original is at the Vancouver Aquarium) grabbed my attention as soon as I saw it. I used the wide-angle setting on the my phone to get close and include the skylight.
There was very little colour in this scene, so it was an easy decision to go black-and-white.
