Ning Ashoona is loved for her exquisite swans and loons.

When an artist steps outside the creative "box" , the resulting carving can be astounding.

Such is ICARUS, Ning's Bird Transformation.

Inuit transformations are an important theme; the subject can be an animal transforming into a human or vice versa.

Icarus's human head appears to be squawking like an angry bird.

His legs are human, positioned in a crouch as if the bird is preparing to leap into the air.

Icarus is dramatic and unexpected.

A stunning step forward for Ning Ashoona.
