Gjoa Haven artists lean heavily toward creating scenes of Inuit life especially the theme of hunting and fishing.
These scenes are different from most Inuit carvings because they require all sorts of tools, and bric a brac such as spears, harpoons, bows, clubs and leather pouches and rope.
STRATEGIC PLAN is a beautiful rendering of an Inuk man carrying a large spear for his fishing expedition.
Strategic is in deep concentration.
His facial features are exquisite.
The stone is a bronze colour which looks like metal.
Strategic is standing on an angle which suggests he is running to the open water to spear a fish.
Our Gjoa Haven scenes of Inuit life are very popular.
Gjoa Haven artists seem to carve a high volume of these endearing scenes.
Yes, they are beautiful but they also document contemporary and historical Inuit life.
