Note:

Kenojuak approached her carvings differently than she did her drawings. A piece of stone may provide inspiration whereas a blank piece of paper does not. She likened carving from stone to chipping away at a problem, the more she carved away the stone the closer she would get to the solution. The subjects of her sculptures were generally similar to her drawings.
