8" Moose by Peter K. *King of the Tundra*Inuit art: Moose Inuit Artist: Peter K. Size: 8" long, 6"tall, 4" wide Community: Iqaluit, NU 6 22 Stone: Alabaster id: d 7739hjjy I love this moose. I don't believe I have ever seen an Inuit carver fashion a moose. This sculpture is beguiling. It is a partnership of traditional realism (ie. it looks like a real moose) and comedy. The large staring eyes and the slight underbite gives King of the Tundra a cartoonish personality. This piece reminds me

Arctic Vixen

the Dancing Bear with an Arching Back has become the quintessential posture for which Nuna has become famous

His grotesque face is elongated and with its large flared nostrils

I knew Joamie well

Kilabuk has placed a utilitarian pair of goggles on a traditional Sedna carving which immediately transports it into the realm of modern art

This urge is especially apparent in his bears smooth curvatures

Note ** Paul Bruneau is an Ojibway native and  a member of the Mattagami First Nations Reserve

An enchanting gift

Tukikie Atamik

The white delicate veins of the stone enhances the soothing apple green colour of the bear

His biological brother is Siutiapiq Ragee

Every feature of this face is magnetic
