Item Details

Description

KEELEEMEEOOMEE SAMUALIE (1919-1983) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)
Alert Bird, mid-1970s
stone, 2.5 x 3 x 1.25 in (6.3 x 7.6 x 3.2 cm)
signed, "ᑭᓕᐅᒥ".

Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle.

Sculpted from a captivating green stone, this diminutive yet enchanting avian form is a rare treasure from Keeleemeeoomee Samualie, known primarily for her contributions to the Kinngait print studios. It is a true shame that so few of her sculptures exist, as the charm of this piece lies in its ability to convey the alertness of a bird with minimal yet impactful detail. The bird's wings, broad and sweeping, provide a striking contrast to the gentle roundness of its belly. Its slightly open mouth suggests a lively chirp, adding to the sculpture's endearing quality.
