I love this logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Its based on a type of First Nation sculpture called Inukshuk. I spent part of one winter in the Arctic and developed a fondest for the art and soap stone of the Inuit and First Nation Peoples. To me, these works are closely linked in spirit with types of Asian art, especially Japanese wood cuts. I love seeing the logo all over the games, like little spirits watching out over the athletes. They call out, "I am here. I am watching. We are all watching. I see you. We see you." I would like to have little flags like those on the Alpine ski runs all over, watching over us.
