The life or death mask is in many ways the sculptural analogue of the photographic portrait. Both suggest direct traces from life, involve positive and negative, and evoke a mysterious connection between a living, breathing subject and a captured image. Through her photographs, Joanna Kane has taken her subjects out of the categories and hierarchies of their phrenological context. They no longer appear as disembodied scientific specimens but as photographically embodied portraits of men and women - many of whom lived before the invention of photography.

Duncan Pryde, an 18-year-old orphan, ex-merchant-seaman, and disgruntled factory-worker left Glasgow for Canada to try his hand at fur-trading. He became so absorbed in this new life that his next ten years were spent living with Eskimos. He immersed himself in their society, even in its most intimate aspects: hunting, shamanism, wife-exchange and blood feuds. His record of these years is not only a great adventure-story, but an unrivalled record of a way-of-life which, along with the igloo, has now entirely disappeared.
