Exhibition catalogue on sculptures of the Inuit from 3 villages in the Kitikmeot region - Taloyoak (Spence Bay), Gjoa Haven and Kugaardjuk (Pelly Bay).
‘ The sculpture from the Kitikmeot area of the Canadian Arctic is the most immediately engaging of all contemporary Inuit art. There is drama in the material, in the sheer strangeness and surreal beauty of the weathered whale bone, and in the weirdly mottled stone with its appurtenances of ivory, bone, and gut ’.
