Additional Images
Provenance:
The Balt collection, CA
Between the years of 1964 to 1977 the Balts worked as a nurse and a teacher/Federal Government representative in Ivuyivik, Great Whale River and Rankin Inlet. They acquired carvings directly from the artists.
Note:
This work shows the artist’s “distinct two-headed urns which have become his trademark.” Likewise, it features his characteristic “enigmatic, shamanistic faces, with fan-like shapes that emerge from the sides of the face.”
