The word inuksuk means "something which acts for or performs the function of a person". The word comes from the morphemes inuk("person") and -suk ("ersatz" or "substitute"). It is pronounced inutsuk .

We had an unexpeded number of deaths in the family in a short period of time and I think that these pieces came from that experience.

 

Guiding Spirit

Guiding Spirit

This is the first one I did of the series. I want to add my personal experience to it so I used the plate out a hard drive from a computer to see what it would look like. I did not expect the halo look. This one stands about 9 inches tall. NFS

The Prophet

The Prophet

This is the tallest in the series at 17 inches. It is also articulated so all of the pieces move so it can be played with to change it.

Day a the Races

Day a the Races

This one just reminds me of the fancy hats worn to horse races. Articulated and 10 inches tall

Johnny Rodrigo
