    by Abraham Anghik Ruben Stone Sculptor

    "I have chosen to be a storyteller for my people through the medium of sculpture. Within these images, I attempt to evoke a range ofthoughts, feelings, and emotions stirring within the audience; these same thoughts, feelings, and emotions I have wrought into my work. I no longer speak my mother tongue, yet I need to do my part in carrying on the stories and cultural myths, legends and spiritual legacy of our people. My hope is that my hands and spirit within will allow me this one gesture." - Abraham Anghik Ruben

    “The stories I learned as a child still guide my hands. They are alive, and I honour them each time I carve.”

    Stone Sculptor Abraham Anghik Ruben

    Abraham Anghik Ruben (b. 1951, Paulatuk, NWT) is one of Canada’s most celebrated Inuit sculptors. Working from Salt Spring Island, he blends ancient Inuvialuit stories with contemporary sculptural language, creating works in stone and bronze that explore cultural memory, survival, and the northern imagination. Exhibiting internationally since 1973, his work appears in major museum collections worldwide.

    Artist Statement

    “My work draws from the stories, teachings, and traditions I learned as a child in Paulatuk. I use both traditional and contemporary materials to retell these ancient narratives in new ways — exploring the spirit world, cultural memory, shamanism, and the shared history of northern peoples. Though I root myself in contemporary sculpture, my cultural identity remains at the core of everything I create.”
