In 1979, Leroy Almon became an apprentice to established and respected woodcarver Elijah Pierce. For a very brief period of time, the two artists collaborated on pieces and by 1982, Almon left Columbus, Ohio, armed with his own artistic practice and style. As well as being a strong, flowing, sophisticated composition in conversation with Pierce's 1949 Jonah and the Fish, this work is a wonderful historic record of Pierce as teacher and Almon as student.
