Baker Lake, Mother and Child, 1990s, black stone, 13 x 8 x 6.5 in, 33 x 21 x 16 cm. ... The child, obviously too big for the mother’s amautiq, seems even too large and heavy to be carried in this manner. In fact, apart from its own arm slung around the mother’s shoulder, there seems to be no means of physical support at all. Overall though it’s an arresting image of family affection, even if it is gravity defying. --- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
