Lot description - from the online catalogue*
"Four pieces form the extra-ordinary Arviat-based artist John Pangnark in the collection and, while each, in its intensely minimalist approach, is recognisably by the same hand, each of them also represents a rather different formal solution to the subject in hand - a crouching hunter, a spirit figure and two mothers and children - and the material available to work in.
Spirit Figure is a small, thin slip of stone with the most rudimentary of faces depicted on one of the thin edges, a work quietly haunting, out of all proportion to its tiny scale. (195)
