There’s a new piece of Labrador-based artwork on display at The Rooms thanks to a large donation from philanthropist Elinor Gill Ratcliffe.
Gill Ratcliffe chipped in $250,000 towards the purchase of the ‘Earth Our Mother’ sculpture by Nunatsiavut artist Billy Gauthier.
The piece was carved out of a massive whale skull and represents the Indigenous heritage of the province.
The donation allowed for the conservation process to take place in order to move the sculpture to an indoor display in the level 4 gallery of The Rooms.
