Literature:

Darlene Coward Wight, Art & Expression of the Netsilik, The Winnipeg Art Gallery, 2000, page 72.

Note:

Tommy was a contemporary of Karoo Ashevak’s. Both artists compose their works with humour and flamboyance, characteristics that are synonymous with their community of Spence Bay and the Netsilik region, more generally.
