Note:

“In [Ullulaq]’s work, an all pervasive humanism is conveyed by the animals. These creatures are not merely utilitarian objects[...]There is a pervasive dynamism in the carved works that is revealed in body movements, gestures, and especially in the faces. The figures and animals are not static or passive, but emotionally involved in their world.”
-from Judas Ooloolah (Ullulaq) Gjoa Haven, exh. cat., from the Upstairs Gallery (Edmonton, AB), 1987
