Provenance:

Private Collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

"Generations" continues a theme in Nasogaluak's oeuvre in which the abuse of alcohol is closely associated with mortality and intergenerational suffering.

Nasogaluak’s artworks often contain allusions to personal experiences, sometimes emotionally fraught, including the alcoholism and death of a cousin by suicide. These subjects so often accompanied by shame, self-abasement, or deflection in public discourse are confronted by Nasogaluak with an uncommon openness and sometimes startling directness.
