Printmaker: Myra Kukiiyaut (1929-2006), Baker Lake, Figures from Mythology, 1986 (Baker Lake Series), stonecut and stencil, 8/30, 25 x 37 in, 63.5 x 94 cm. Provenance: an American private collection. ... This charming image by Oonark was probably printed in the last year of the artist’s life but was not released in the 1986 annual catalogued collection. It was however sold locally and unofficially; note the small edition size. Oonark did not depict specific myths and legends in her drawings, so these figures are probably meant to be generically symbolic of “Inuit mythology” as a concept. --- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
