Description
Cape Dorset, Sea Goddess and Young, ca. 1990, marbled dark green stone, signed in syllabics, 8.25 x 7.25 x 5.5 in, 21 x 18.4 x 14 cm. ... Pitseolak Niviaqsi is a highly accomplished printmaker as well as a well-regarded stone sculptor. The sea goddess is probably his favourite theme and he has treated the subject in various ways. It allows Pitseolak to express his love for the beauty of the female form, not in a sexualized manner but clearly from an admiring male viewpoint. In this work Sedna and her daughter are idealized figures, modest but proudly showing off their hair and their tails – the two most emblematic of the sea goddess’s features.--- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
