Description
Arviat (Eskimo Point), Composition: Faces and Figures, early-mid 1980s, grey stone, signed in syllabics, 7.75 x 9.5 x 5 in, 19.6 x 23.7 x 12.6 cm. ... This is an especially fine example of Anowtalik’s stone carving style, which is sometimes hard to distinguish from his wife Ayaq’s work (previous lot), but not in this instance. This fairly complex composition has figures and faces everywhere (even two on the underside). A large upward-facing head dominates the group; if we read the rest of the stone as its body, then faces emerge from it and figures clamber up and down as if on a small mountain. Conceptually this is similar to many works by Ayaq and by Lucy Tasseor.--- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
