UNTITLED (FIGURES AND WILDLIFE)
ELIZABETH ANGRNAQQUAQ (1916-2003), W1-224, BAKER LAKE
UNTITLED (FIGURES AND WILDLIFE)
stroud, felt, thread, signed in syllabics
36" x 28" — 91.4 x 71.1 cm.
Note:
Angrnaqquaq’s mother died when she was young so she learned to sew from her grandmother and later from other women in the community. She uses the feather stitch in abundance here, covering her appliqued animals with a fur like effect. Sheila Butler noted, “Angrnaqquaq’s designs show an anatomical and textural understanding of the creatures she portrays.”

Estimate: $1,000—1,500
