Cooperative Gallery, Montreal, 1988

Note:

“I think this is a wonderful translation of a shape. Inuit carvers have a unique, fresh approach, without academic training – no other influence. They have a purely innate connection to the environment; other artists have a visual history to refer to. You can tell by how they carve, they understand movement of the animals.”

In conversation with Bill Johnstone, July 2018
