Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes
Both of Isa Smiler's parents died from an illness that was spread from a supply ship when he was just nine years old. This carving of a mother nursing her child, is suggestive to that past experience and mirrors his longing and deep value of family, something that is very much central to Inuit culture.
