Two years in the making, The Lesson is Wilkins’ seventh metal sculpture that he built in his farm shop near Davidson, Sask. His tools are basic: a cutting torch, welder, hammer and pry bar with jaws for bending metal.
Her outstretched hand points to the prairie. She is Cree. The other hand gently touches her son’s head (four feet, 275 lb.) who follows his mother’s learned gaze. He is Metis.
Their lifelike hair is crafted from stainless steel that has been painted black. A necklace of antler tips hangs from her neck. The buckskin clothing and moccasins are sheets and straps of one-eighth inch steel moulded and welded together by their creator.
This should be a fairly easy find.
This cache is placed for the SCAR 2019 event, and should not be sought out until after 5:30pm on May 24th.
