Original sculpture was hand carved by Bill Helin out of a
Sperm Whale tooth. The process took Bill approximately
a month and a half to complete.

The Bronze Cast was produced in a Vancouver, BC 
foundry as a joint effort with the Inuit Gallery. As a low
number Limited Edtion, these cast sculptures retain a 
progressive higher value as do Bill's other limited
edition art forms, such as his gold work and silk-
screened prints.

'Embrace of Love' was inspired by Bill's passion for life and the
active involvement with clients he has designed wedding rings and other custom designed works with. The intimate relationship between customer and Artist initiates a bond of 
friendship through Bills sharing of his heritage and creative 
originality. Collectable pieces by Bill Helin hold a strong value in the art market and continues  to grow by a strong increased popularity.

"My inspiration for Embrace of Love has two representations, 
fantasy in mythology, and reality displayed in the two faces of
the human characters who I designed as spiritual soul mates. With the Raven being the dominant character in Tsimshian
mythology, he has the highest place on the sculpture. However,
he also shares the strength in equality to the Eagle. The animal 
crest in the sculpture represents two people in union and one spirit together in their eternal love for each other."

Creatively,

      Bill Helin
