Abstract
This contextual study of folk art examines the work of one Newfoundland painter and wood sculptor, Patrick J. Murphy from Bell Island, Conception Bay. It was found that the folk art has a variety of uses and functions for both artists and community. A profitable pastime, a means of exchange in reciprocal dealings, and most importantly, as a channel through which to communicate an esoteric vision of the past, the art is valuable and important to the lives of Pat Murphy and his fellow Bell Islanders.
