“Carving helped me find my path in life. It is who I am, and I love my life because of it.
“I created my own style of carving. No one else carves like I do, and I think that’s part of my identity as a First Nation carver – I carve like I have been taught, but with my own artistic nature which I think comes from being a painter first. I love it, it is my greatest passion, and believe it or not it kept me going throughout my whole life. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I kept carving. It was therapeutic, and it kept my mind busy. I pour out my passion into the wood, and it keeps me alive. I can proudly say that I have been cancer free for more than 10 years.”
Richard carves an average of nine hours a day. “I love to be able to take a piece of wood and make something out of it. It’s taken me 42 years to get to this stage, and I couldn’t be happier.
“I will keep creating art until my time comes, and get as many new pieces out as I can.”
Identity: Art as Life runs from September 14 to November 3, 2017 at The View Gallery at Vancouver Island University.
