Romancing the Stone: The Gjoa Haven Collection
In the hamlet of Gjoa Haven, (high above the Arctic Circle on King William Island) lives a colony of Inuit artists. Their carving style is the most imaginative and fascinating of all the Arctic regions.
Gjoa Haven sculptures are often wildly exuberant. Their inlaid facial features can be comical or ridden with despair. But, rather than being oppressive, these carvings have a simple playfulness that enchants and bewitches.
