    Female Shaman Transforming into Walrus

    The artist shows the female shaman’s use of walrus tusks to assist in her transformation into the form of her helping spirit, a walrus. In this work, the shaman has her face coyly covered, partially hiding the tell-tale tusks now protruding from her mouth.
