Journey North

The images rendered in Thomas Stream's current works of art illustrate humility and honor to a unique group of people. The Aleut people lived in a world of scarcity and became expert at deriving maximum benefits from the scanty resources that nature provided. He hopes that his work brings honor to his people, the Aleut.

 The images illustrate humility and honor to a unique group of people. I utilize the creatures of the sky, sea, and earth to depict the wonderful wittiness, strength, playfulness, sensitivity, power and sorrow of the Aleuts and their environment. –Artist statement
