Bio
Hib Sabin’s work is inspired by his interest in traditional shamanism and its contemporary application in a search for a spiritual bonding between man and nature. He has become involved with the use of animal forms through carving masks, sticks, and spirit canoes. Hib has combined his love of nature with his spiritual beliefs and created art that encourages the viewer to go beyond what one sees. Hib carves juniper wood that he finds locally and then paints the carving to recreate an ancient patina.
Hib is inspired by Inuit sculptures, Mexican folk art and the mythological cultures of Native Americans. Hib carves animals and ritual artifacts and instills them with an energy that captivates the viewer.
Many of the pieces he carves are custom made, honoring specific totem animals requested by patrons. It is through these offerings that he satisfies both his creative and spiritual natures. He is particularly interested in the symbolism of bears, wolves, ravens, and owls, and they appear in many of his works.
