Provenance:
Cooperative Gallery, Montreal, 1988
Notes:
"I think this is a wonderful translation of a shape. Inuit carvers have a unique, fresh approach, without academic training - no other influence. They have a purely innate connection to the environment; other artists have a visual history to refer to. You can tell by how they carve, they understand movement of the animals."
