WOMAN WITH CHILD HOLDING KAMIKS
EVA TALOOKI ALIKTILUK (1927-1995), E1-75, ARVIAT
WOMAN WITH CHILD HOLDING KAMIKS
stone, beads, felt, fur, signed in syllabics
6" x 2.75" x 3.5" — 15.2 x 7 x 8.9 cm.
Note:
Talooki’s aunt, Susan Ootnooyuk was the first to adorn carvings with beadwork. However it was Talooki who became best known for this type of work. The colourful beading adds visual contrast to the hard, grey Arviat stone and context to her decidedly minimalist figures.
Estimate: $600—900
