Provenance:

Private collection, Kingston, ON

Note:

Following a famine, Joy Kiluvigyuak Hallauk relocated from Henik Lake in the Kivalliq region to Arviat (Eskimo Point) in the 1950s where she met her husband Luke Hallauk (brother of Arviat master carver Andy Miki). The husband and wife often carved together, sharing a closely related and distinctive style for which Joy Hallauk has become best known.

Here we see two superb examples of Joy’s early work. Both are characterized by an attention to detail often absent in the artist’s late period production.
