Sedna: The Making of a Myth

Thanks for walking with me! On the tour, we stopped at The Sedna Legend, the striking marble sculpture at Exchange Tower that tells the Inuit story of Sedna, the woman who lives under the sea. This documentary takes you to Baffin Island, where the piece was carved, so you can see how it all came together.

​

In 1990, three Inuit carvers, their families, and a southern carver set up camp together on a marble outcrop near Cape Dorset. A major bank had commissioned them to bring the legend of Sedna to life in stone. Over about six months they lived and worked side by side, moving between two cultures, before the finished sculpture made its way south to downtown Toronto.
