Two Wolves
"It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one wolf is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offence when no offence was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way. But the other wolf, is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper…"

Greenlandic dogs are a purebred working breed native to Greenland and parts of northern Canada. Their lineage dates back thousands of years, and much of their life still follows the same traditions as their ancestors. Though domesticated, these dogs live outdoors year-round and are trained from a young age to work for their owners.
I had the privilege of visiting a ‘dog town’ in Sisimiut, a wide stretch of land filled with families of dogs and their small wooden houses. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. Just outside the main town, this was where the working dogs lived.
Learning about their origins, their purpose, and their nature was moving. To stand among them and see how tightly woven they are into the survival of Greenlandic culture felt primordial, almost surreal. I realized any image I made couldn’t simply be documentation.
It had to carry a spirit.
This print is made with archival quality silver gelatin on a baryta coated fibre base, considered by many as the gold standard in black & white fine art prints. Each one is printed by the professionals at Digital Silver Imaging in Boston and signed by the artist in Toronto. A certificate of authenticity is also included with each print.
