Note:

This work was the cover image for the Sanavik Cooperative Baker Lake Print Catalogue, 1974.

“...In this print the Inuit amautiq, or mother’s parka, assumes the force of a feminine symbol. Traditional facial tattoos and the crescent-shaped woman’s knife, or ulu, projecting from each side of the woman’s head are also cultural attributes associated with Inuit women.”
