Clayton Keknek’s choice of dramatic black, grey and copper stone for Newt is genius.
He has carved black stripes into the stone mimicking the stripes of a snake or a reptile.
The Gjoa Haven transformations, like Newt are complex in structure but simple in their intent!
They are meant to delight.
In the middle of all these eyes and flippers, and heads is a charming primitive creature making his way in this world.
Like many Gjoa Haven carvings, Newt's quirkiness factor is 10 out of 10.
Every collection is elevated by the pieces that are unconventional and unexpected.
Newt is that piece.
