An art experience I loved...

Last summer, on a visit to the Musée Nationale des Beaux-Arts du Québec, I visited the Manasie Akpaliapik exhibit. I was fascinated by how the artist reclaimed animal materials and transformed them into pieces that embody his love for his home and his culture. I have truly never seen sculpture like his. They transformed as we walked around them; each surface revealing a new hidden story sculpted into the whale bone or caribou antlers.

I’m interested in art because...

It is a lens through which to learn about the world and everyone in it.
