Photos, carvings from POV displayed on web

You don’t have to go to Toronto to see the newest exhibition at the Feheley Fine Arts gallery.

That’s because its latest show, “Witness to the Past: Photographs by Richard Harrington and Works of Art from Arctic Quebec,” can be seen on its Web site at www.feheleyfinearts.com.

Richard Harrington travelled to Puvirnituq (then known as Povungnituk) in 1959 where he captured history on film: the then-newly formed Sculptors Society.

His photos document the sculpting process by following the artist Charlie Sivuarapik and his family in 1959. They show the labour involved in the creation of sculpture, including quarrying and selecting stone, cutting and filing the rock into a form, and polishing the surface to reach a final product.

This limited series of archival, selenium-toned photographs have only been on display once before. The photographs are exhibited together with the works of art from northern Quebec, which also date from that period.
