Aghate, the Great Bear Basswood, canvas, bamboo base, metal stand, stain, varnish 53.34 x 33.02 x 53.34 cm. 2024 I am Makousham, the bear that had to be eaten all at once, the thanksgiving, dance, drum of the great communion, chief's stole, shaman's cloak, I died so that you might live, so that your family might live. I was “little grandfather”, “little grandmother”, the path of all rebirths. The truth was in the fat, in the deep sleep, in the strength of the black bear, the power of dreams and spirit.5” Serge Bouchard, anthropologist This is a tribute to my grandmother Agathe dite la Montagnaise. https://www.gallea.ca/fr/artistes/lucien-carol-proulx-1/oeuvre/100962
